Pratap Puri rowed 18 miles down a river in 2 hours, but the retum trip took him 4 hours. Find the rate Pratap can row in still water and find the rate of the current. Let x=rate Pratap can row in still water and y=rate of the current
What is the rate that Pratap rows in still water?

Pratap can row at a rate of____?
(Type an integer or a decimal)
in still water.

Answers

Answer 1

Rate Pratap can row in still water is 6.75 and Rate of current is 2.25

Step: 1

Let's y = speed of water and x = his speed of rowing in still water

Speed = Distance/Time (or)

Rate = Distance/Time

Step: 2

he row downstream in 2 hours

Rate in downstream = 18/2

Rate in downstream = 9

i.e.

x + y = 9

x = 9 - y ---(i)

Now, time taken by min to row in upstream = 4 hours

Rate in upstream = Distance/Time = 18/4

Rate in upstream = 4.5

i.e., x-y = 4.5 ---(ii)

Putting the value of x from equation (i) in equation(ii)

9 - y - y = 4.5

9 - 2y = 4.5

9 - 4.5 = 2y

y = 4.5/2

y = 2.25

Putting the value of y in equation (ii)

x - 2.25 = 4.5

x = 4.5 + 2.25

x = 6.75

x = Rate Pratap can row in still water = 6.75

y = Rate of current = 2.25

Jimmy is writing a paper for one of his classes. The paper has to be 3,000 words long, and so far he has written 786 words. If he only has 6 more days to write his paper and wants to write the same number of words each day, then how many words must he write per day to finish the paper?

Answers

Jimmy has to write 369 words per day for the next 6 days to finish the paper.

The total number of words in the paper has to be 3000

Jimmy has already written = 786 words.

3000-786 = 2214

So, Jimmy still has to write 2214 words.

He has 6 days to write the paper and he wants to write the same number of words per day.

With this in mind to find out how many words he has to write per day we can divide 2214 by 6.

2214/6 = 369 words

So, Jimmy has to write 369 words per day for the next 6 days to finish the paper.

Find the measure of the exterior angle.

Answers

The measure of the exterior angle is 139 degrees.

What is the measure of the exterior angle?

The sum of the interior angle of a triangle is 180 degree.

The sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.

From the diagram;

Angle 1 = 64 degreesAngle 2 = 75 degreesAngle 3 = ?

First, we determine the third interior angle of the triangle.

Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180

64 + 75 + Angle 3 = 180

139 + Angle 3 = 180

Angle 3 = 180 - 139

Angle 3 = 41 degrees

Now, angle 3 and the exterior angle forms a angle on a straight line.

Hence;

Angle 3 + Exterior angle = 180

41 +  Exterior angle = 180

Exterior angle = 180 - 41

Exterior angle = 139 degrees.

Therefore, 139 degrees is the exterior angle.

Answers

An amount of $1800 was invested at a rate of 7.5% and $800 was invested at a rate of 5%.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is a ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100.

Given that, one part of $2600 was invested at a rate of 7.5% and the other part was invested at a rate of 5%, and the total yield was $175 simple interest.

Let $x was invested at 7.5%, then $(2600-x) was invested at 5%.

Since the yield is $175, it follows,

7.5% of x + 5% of (2600-x) = 175

7.5x/100 + 5(2600-x)/100 = 175

7.5x + 13000 - 5x = 17500

2.5x = 17500-13000

2.5x = 4500

x = 1800

Now, the value of (2600-x) is,

2600-1800

=800

At time t = 0, water begins to drip out of a pipe
nto an empty bucket. After 56 minutes, 8 inches
of water are in the bucket. What linear function
n the form y = mx + b represents the amount of
water in inches, w, in the bucket after t minutes?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

w = t/7

at the beginning we 0 inches of water.

after 56 minutes we have 8 inches of water.

that is a ratio of 56 minutes / 8 inches = 7/1 = 1 / 1/7.

so, in 1 minute we get 1/7 inch of water.

in 2 minutes 2×1/7 = 2/7.

in 3 minutes 3×1/7 = 3/7.

...

hence the equation.

Answer:

y = t/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Start time t = 0,Start level y = 0,Level of y = 8 in after t = 56 min

Solution

Find the value of m and b in the equation y = mx + b.

The value of b = 0, since there is no level in the bucket initially.

Find the value of m, the slope:

8 = 56m,m = 8/56m = 1/7

So the equation is:

y =  (1/7)t + 0

In ΔQRS, s = 7.9 cm, ∠Q=125° and ∠R=23°. Find the length of q, to the nearest 10th of a centimeter.

Answers

The length of q, to the nearest 10th of a centimeter, is 8.8 cm.

We are given the following;

In ΔQRS, s = 7.9 cm, ∠Q=125° and ∠R=23°.

The third angle can be calculated using the angle sum property:

angle Q + angle R + angle S = 180 degrees

125 degrees + 23 degrees + angle S = 180 degrees

angle S = 180 - (125 + 23) degrees

angle S = 180 - 148 degrees

angle S = 32 degrees

To find the length of q we shall apply the Sine rule.

q / Sin Q = s / Sin S

q / Sin 125 = 7.9 / Sin 32

by cross multiplication we will get;

q = (7.9 x Sin 125) / Sin 32

q = (7.9 x 0.61) / 0.55

q = 8.8 cm (approximately)

So,  the length of q is 8.8 cm.

Thus, the length of q, to the nearest 10th of a centimeter, is 8.8 cm.

A. 5

B. 3

C. 6

Answers

The union of the sets P and Q does not have the integer 5 since it is neither a multiple of 3 or a multiple of 4.

P is the set of integers between 1 and 10 and multiple of 3.

∴P = {3,6,9}

Q is the set of positive integers less than 15 and multiple of 4.

∴Q = {4,8,12}

Now the union of the sets P and Q is given by :

P∪Q = {3,4,6,8,9,12}

Now the union of the sets does not contain the integer 5.

Any collection of items, including a set of raw materials, the seven days of the week, several car types, etc., can be categorized as a set.

Any set component counts as an element of the set. Curly brackets are used to write a set. A very basic set would resemble something like this:

Q = {4,8,12}.

Answers

The following are the characteristics of the graph of the linear parent function:

B. It has a slope of 1.

C. It is a parabola.

D. It is a straight line.

Lets explain the meaning of linear parent function

- A linear parent function is the equation y = x or f(x) = x

- A parent function is the simplest equation of a function

- It represented by a straight line passing through the origin point O

- The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of any points lie on it are equal

- The slope of the line is 1 because the slope is the change of Δy/Δx

and Δy = Δx

The characteristics of the graph of the linear parent  function are

∵ Linear parent function is f(x) = x and f(x) = y

∴ x = y

∵ The slope = Δy/Δx

∵ Δx = Δy because x = y

∴ The slope of it is 1

B. It has a slope of 1

∵ y = 0

∵ If x = 0 then y must = 0

∴ It goes through the origin

C. It goes through the origin

∵ It is a linear function

∵ All linear function represented by a straight line

∴ The graph of the linear parent function is a straight line

D. It is a straight line

According to a study done by UCB students, the height for Martian adult males is normally distributed with an average of 65 inches and a standard deviation of 2.4 inches. Suppose one Martian adult male is randomly chosen. Let X = height of the individual. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

Answers

The probability that the person is between 67.1 and 68.3 inches, using the normal distribution, is of:

0.1056 = 10.56%.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a variable that has mean symbolized by [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation symbolized by [tex]\sigma[/tex] is obtained by the rule presented as follows:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score represents how many standard deviations the measure X is above or below the mean of the distribution, depending if the obtained z-score is positive or negative.Using the z-score table, the p-value associated with the calculated z-score is found, and it represents the percentile of the measure X in the distribution.

The mean and the standard deviation for the heights of UCB students are given as follows:

[tex]\mu = 65, \sigma = 2.4[/tex]

The probability that the person is between 67.1 and 68.3 inches is the p-value of Z when X = 68.3 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 67.1, hence:

X = 68.3:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Z = (68.3 - 65)/2.4

Z = 1.38.

Z = 1.38 has a p-value of 0.9162.

X = 67.1:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Z = (67.1 - 65)/2.4

Z = 0.88.

Z = 0.88 has a p-value of 0.8106.

0.9162 - 0.8106 = 0.1056 = 10.56%.
