Jack rides in a motorboat against a river current for 36 km. Then he returns to his
starting point by floating down river on a raft. Tommy travels 9 hours less on the
motorboat than on the raft. Find the speed of the river current if the speed of the
motorboat in still water is 15 km/h.

Answers

Answer 1

The speed of the river current is 11.5 km/h.

What is speed?

Speed is the ratio of total distance travelled to total time taken. IT is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let b represent the speed of the current and t represent the time, hence:

(15 + b)= 36/t

t = 36 / (15 + b)

Also:

(15 - b)= 36/(t + 9)

t = [36 - 9(15 - b)]/(15 - b)

Hence:

36 / (15 + b) = [36 - 9(15 - b)]/(15 - b)

b = 11.5 km/h

The speed of the river current is 11.5 km/h.

What makes Europa a potential home to extraterrestrial life? *

Europa is the sixth closest moon of the planet Jupiter, and one of the largest moons in the solar system. Europa is slightly smaller than the Earth’s moon and has a tenuous atmosphere compared primarily to oxygen. The surface of Europa is composed of water and is one of the smoothest in the solar system. Scientists suggest that it is possible Europa has an ocean of liquid water beneath its surface, making it a strong candidate for extraterrestrial life. It is also predicted that heat energy from tidal flexing may cause oceans to remain liquid and drives geological activity similar to plate tectonics on Earth.

Solve:

To find how many brown puppies are there if there are 80 puppies at the store.

We have to Multiply

4/5 × 80 = 64

Thus, There are 64 brown puppies if there are 80 puppies at the store.

~Learn with Lenvy~

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 * 80 = 64

Since there are 80 puppies, you would have to multiply the fraction of brown puppies present in order to find the exact number.

For what value of y does
25-()
25
?

Answers

Answer: his is a simple as well as an interesting question. CASE I: y = 25. Consider this a² = |a|. Given y = 25, we can write like this way,. y = -5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the exponential equation:—

[tex]\displaystyle \large{125=(\frac{1}{25})^{y-1}}[/tex]

First, use a law of exponent [Quotient Rules] to convert RHS:—

[tex]\displaystyle \large{125=(25^{-1})^{y-1}}[/tex]

Then convert both bases to base 5:—

[tex]\displaystyle \large{5^3 = (5^{-2})^{y-1}}[/tex]

Use another law of exponent [Power] to multiply the exponent of RHS:—

[tex]\displaystyle \large{5^3 = 5^{-2y+2}}[/tex]

Now that both sides have same base, solve the equations with exponent:—

[tex]\displaystyle \large{3=-2y+2}\\\displaystyle \large{1=-2y}\\\displaystyle \large{y=-\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of y is:—

[tex]\displaystyle \large{\boxed{-\frac{1}{2}}}[/tex]

__________________________________________________________

Summary

This section includes an important or necessary explanation, summary or formulas that was used in the explanation above.

  Laws of Exponent

Power of Power Rules:—

[tex]\displaystyle \large{(a^m)^n = a^{mn}}[/tex]

Quotient Rules:—

[tex]\displaystyle \large{a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}}[/tex]

Note that the above, Quotient Rules, is derived from:—

[tex]\displaystyle \large{\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^m \div a^n = a^{m-n}[/tex]

But when m = 0 the numerator becomes 1.

  Exponential Equation

When solving an Exponential Equation, the goal is to convert both sides having the same base.

When both sides have same base, take both exponents of both sides to solve the equation.

Answers

Answer:

220 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the area of each fact on the rectangular prism and add them all up. There are two faces in the prism with each pair of side lengths, like two faces with side lengths of 4x5, two with 5x10, etc.

4x5 = 20 20x2 = 40

4x10 = 40 40x2 = 80

5x10 = 50 50x2 = 100

100 + 80 + 40 = 220 square inches

Answer:

B. 220 in ^2

To find the surface area, we have to find the area of each face and add them all together.

Let's get started.

Face one:

Let's start with the one facing us.

The width is 4

The length is 10

4 x 10 = 40

Since there is an identical face on the opposite side, we need two of those.

40 x 2 = 80

Now let's do the face facing to the right.

The length is 10

The width is 5

5 x 10 = 50

Since there is an identical face on the opposite side, we need two of those.

50 x 2 = 100

Now the one on the top

The length is 5

The width is 4

5 x 4 = 20

Since there is an identical face on the opposite side, we need two of those.

20 x 2 = 40

80 + 100 + 40 = 220

Emma has a coupon for $5.25 off a frame that normally costs $15.00. What percent discount did she receive on the frame? Show your work in arriving at your answer.

Answers

Emma has received a 35 percent discount on the frame

What is a discount?

A discount is a reduction in price of an item usually for promotion or marketing purposes.

A discount could be in the form of a percentage off the price of the item or a fixed amount(say $7) off the price of the item

In the case of Emma, he got a fixed amount off the price which we converted to percentage to determine the amount off. This is calculated thus:

discount price/price of item ×100/1

5.25/15×100/1= 0.35(35%)

If a percentage is used, a variable( can change)amount in the form of a discount is possible otherwise not.

max is m years old. His sister is twice as old as he is. The sum of their ages is 27. How old is Ahmed and his sister?

Answers

Answer:

Ahmed's age = " m " years.

Also ,

age of Ahmed's sister = 2 × m = 2m years

According to Question ,

age of ahmed + age of his sister = 27

[tex]\bold{m + 2m = 27 }\\ \bold{3m = 27 }\\ \bold{m = \cancel{\frac{27}{3} }} \\ \\ \fbox\blue{m = 9}[/tex]

therefore ,

age of Ahmed = 9 years.

age of Ahmed's sister = 2m = 2 ( 9 ) = 18 years.

hope helpful~

Answer :

Age of Ahmed is 9 years

Age of Ahmad's sister is 18 years

Explaination :

In the question it is given that Ahmed is of m years.

Age of Ahmed = m years

Her sister is twice as old as he.

Age of Ahmad's sister = 2 × m = 2m years

Now in the question it is given that sum of their ages is 27. So lets add the age of Ahmed and his sister and keep it equal to 27 inorder to get the value of m.

Age of Ahmed + Age of his sister = 27

m + 2m = 27

3m = 27

m = 27 / 3

m = 9

Therefore, value of m is 9..!!

Age of Ahmed:-

Age of Ahmed = m

Age of Ahmed = 9 years

Age of his sister:-

Age of Ahmad's sister = 2m

Age of Ahmad's sister = 2 × 9

Age of Ahmad's sister = 18 years

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 50 inches. Determine the length of the legs if each leg is the same length.

Answers

Answer:

  25√2 ≈ 35.36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the leg length for the given conditions. It tells you the relation between legs a, b, and hypotenuse c is ...

  c² = a² +b²

If a=b, and c=50, this becomes ...

  50² = a² +a²

  1250 = a² . . . . divide by 2

  25√2 = a . . . . take the square root

The length of each leg is 25√2 ≈ 35.36 inches.
