A motorboat travels miles in hours going upstream. It travels miles going downstream in the same amount of time. What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 49 mi/hr

y = 6 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

A motorboat travels 258mi in 6 hours going upstream. It travels 330mi going downstream in same amount of time. What's the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current.

Let

x = the speed of the boat in still water.

y = the speed of the stream

The speed upstream is x - y

The speed downstream is x + y

Distance = rate × time

258 = (x - y)6 (1)

330 = (x + y)6 (2)

From (1)

x - y = 43 (3)

From (2)

x + y = 55 (4)

x - y = 43 (3)

x + y = 55 (4)

Add the equations to eliminate y

x + x = 43 + 55

2x = 98

x = 98/2

x = 49 mi/hr

Substitute x = 49 into (4)

x + y = 55 (4)

49 + y = 55

y = 55 - 49

y = 6 mi/hr

Children and adults purchased tickets for a local amusement park.all tickets were sold at the park entrance-season passes,discount,atc.we’re not allowed.A child’s tickets cost $8 while an adult ticket cost $15.A total of 5,500 was collected.600 tickets were sold.how many of each type of ticket were sold?

Answers

Answer:

x = number of children tickets sold = 500

y = number of adult tickets sold = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of children tickets sold

y = number of adult tickets sold

x + y = 600 (1)

8x + 15y = 5,500 (2)

From (2)

x = 600 - y

Substitute x = 600 - y into (2)

8x + 15y = 5,500 (2)

8(600 - y) + 15y = 5,500

4,800 - 8y + 15y = 5,500

- 8y + 15y = 5,500 - 4,800

7y = 700

y = 700/7

y = 100

Substitute y = 100 into (1)

x + y = 600 (1)

x + 100 = 600

x = 600 - 100

x = 500

x = number of children tickets sold = 500

y = number of adult tickets sold = 100

A ball is launched out of a cannon that is 24 feet off the ground. The height of the ball after "t" seconds is represented by
h(t) = -16t² + 20x + 24
How many seconds will it take for the to reach the ground?

Answers

Given:

The height of ball is represented by the below function:

[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+20t+24[/tex]

To find:

The number of seconds it will take to reach the ground.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+20t+24[/tex]

At ground level, the height of ball is 0, i.e., [tex]h(t)=0[/tex].

[tex]-16t^2+20t+24=0[/tex]

Taking out greatest common factor.

[tex]-4(4t^2-5t-6)=0[/tex]

[tex]4t^2-5t-6=0[/tex]

Splitting the middle term, we get

[tex]4t^2-8t+3t-6=0[/tex]

[tex]4t(t-2)+3(t-2)=0[/tex]

[tex](t-2)(4t+3)=0[/tex]

Using zero product property, we get

[tex](t-2)=0[/tex] and [tex](4t+3)=0[/tex]

[tex]t=2[/tex] and [tex]t=-\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]

Time cannot be negative, so [tex]t=2[/tex].

Therefore, the ball will reach the ground after 2 seconds.

Initially, the ratio of Alex's toy cars to Pete's toy cars was 7:3. After Alex gave 20 toy cars to Pete, they each had an equal number of cars. how many toy cars did they have altogether?

Answers

Answer:

100 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex: Pete

7:        3

Multiply by x to get the number of cars

Alex  has 7x cars

Pete has 3x cars

Now Alex gives pete 20

Alex has 7x-20

Pete has 3x+20

They have the same number of cars so set the expressions equal

7x-20 = 3x+20

Subtract 3x from each side

7x-20-3x = 3x+20-3x

4x-20 = 20

Add 20 to each side

4x-20+20 = 20+20

4x= 40

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 40/4

x = 10

Alex had 7x = 7*10 = 70 to start

Pete had 3x = 3*10 = 30 to start

Together 70+30 = 100 cars

Answer:

100 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex: Pete

7:        3

Multiply by x to get the number of cars

Alex  has 7x cars

Pete has 3x cars

Now Alex gives pete 20

Alex has 7x-20

Pete has 3x+20

They have the same number of cars so set the expressions equal

7x-20 = 3x+20

Subtract 3x from each side

7x-20-3x = 3x+20-3x

4x-20 = 20

Add 20 to each side

4x-20+20 = 20+20

4x= 40

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 40/4

x = 10

Alex had 7x = 7*10 = 70 to start

Pete had 3x = 3*10 = 30 to start

Together 70+30 = 100 cars

a^2 = 11^2 + 13^2 -2(11)(13) cos A

100 = 121 + 169- 286cos A

cos A = 190/286

It is necessary and the strategic way to collect the waste materials and separate them by material type before recycling. Hence, this is voluntary response bias. The survey overestimates community support for change to the recycling program.

What is recycling?

Recycling is the process regenerating new products from the decomposed materials such as broken plastics, fuel from biowastes, glasses from broken glass parts etc.

Recycling technology is a nature genuine strategy and it helps to reduce the accumulation of wastes on earth surface. Not all people are aware of the significance of this method.

b: How many white marbles must be added to the box so that the probability of choosing a white marble is 5/16?
Please answer I will make brianliest!!

Answers

Answer:

a. x is 55

b. 20 white marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Question: A box contains 60 identical marbles where 'x' of them are red while the rest are white; (given that in the original question, the box only contains red and yellow marbles, the yellow can be replaced by white to explain the question idea)

a. The number of identical marbles in the box, n = 60

The number of red marbles = x

The number of white marbles = The rest of the marbles which are not red

The probability that a marble drawn is white, P(y) = 1/12

Let 'y' represent the number of white marbles

From probability theory, we have;

The number of white marbles, y = n × P(y) = 60 × 1/12 = 5

The number of red marbles, x = n - y = 60 - 5 = 55

x = 55

b. The number of white marbles that must be added to make the probability of choosing a white marble = 5/16 is given as follows;

Let Δy represent the number of white marbles added, therefore;

P(y) = (y + Δy)/(y + Δy + x)

∴ P(y) = (5 + Δy)/(5 + Δy + 55) = 5/16

5 × (60 + Δy) = 16 × (5 + Δy)

300 + 5·Δy = 80 + 16·Δy

16·Δy - 5·Δy = 300 - 80

11·Δy = 220

Δy = 220/11 = 20

The number of white marbles that must be added, Δy = 20 white marbles
