6) A boat traveled 80 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 5 hours. The trip back took
10 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water? What is the speed of the current?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12 mph and 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the boat = b and the speed of the current = c

Equations to reflect time, time = distance/speed:

Downstream80/(b + c)= 5 ⇒ b - c = 80/5 ⇒ b + c = 16Upstream80/(b - c) = 10 ⇒ b - c = 80/10 ⇒ b - c = 8

Sum of the 2 equations above

b + c  + b - c = 16 + 82b = 24b = 12c = 16 - 12 = 4

So the speed of the boat is 12 mph

The speed of the current is 4 mph

Answers

Answer: When you divide by 100 you are essentially moving the decimal of the number two places to the left. In undoing this you would have to move the decimal of the number two places to the right.

28.003 would then turn into 2,800.3

If you walked for 10 minutes, what would the ratio of yards to minutes be?
Show your calculation.

Answers

Answer:

ratio of yards to minutes is;

900:10 or 90:1

Step-by-step explanation:

From research, the average person walks at around 3 miles per hour which approximately 1.5 yards/s.

Now, 60 seconds make a minute.

Which means in a minute, an average person will have walked; 1.5 × 60 = 90 yards/minute

Thus, in 10 minutes, average person will have walked; 90 × 10 = 900 yards

Thus, ratio of yards to minutes is;

900:10 or 90:1

Step-by-step explanation:

If you would like to solve 32% of a number is 64, you can calculate this using the following steps:

32% of a number is 64

32% * x = 64

32/100 * x = 64     /*100/32

x = 64 * 100 / 32

x = 200

Result: 32% of 200 is 64.

Write a linear equation that has a slope of 1/2 and a y-intercept at the origin.

Answers

Answer:

y=1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is the most commonly used linear equation:

It goes like this:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

In this equation, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Your line has a slope of 1/2. So, your m-value is 1/2.

y=1/2x+b

B, your y-intercept, is at the origin.

The origin is the point (0,0).

So b, is 0 (y-intercept is the y-value when x is 0)

y=1/2x+0

=

y=1/2x

A high-profile consulting company chooses its new entry-level employees from a pool of recent college graduates using a five-step interview process. Unfortunately, there are usually more candidates who complete the interview process than the number of new positions that are available. As a result, cumulative GPA is used as a tie-breaker. GPAs for the successful interviewees are Normally distributed, with a mean of 3.3 and a standard deviation of 0.4. Out of the163 people who made it through the interview process, only 121 can be hired. What cut-off GPA should the company use

Answers

Answer:

3.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 3.34

Standard deviation= 0.4

n = 163

X ~ N(3.3, 0.4)

The cut off gpa = j

P(x>j) = 121/163

P(x<=j) = 42/163 = 0.26

O.26 represents the 26th percentile

We solve further by using Microsoft Excel. We use the function NORMINV on excel to get GPA

X =. NORMINV(0.26, 3.3, 0.4)

X = 3.04 approximately

We conclude that the required gpa is 3.04

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 7 ft shorter than the longer leg. The hypotenuse is 7 ft longer than the longer leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.​

Answers

Answer:

shorter leg = 21 ft

longer leg = 28 ft

hypotenuse = 35 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the longer leg of the triangle "b", the shorter leg "a", and the hypotenuse "h"

Then we have the following two equations:

a = b - 7

h = b + 7

And we can use the Pythagorean theorem to relate all three sides of the triangle:

[tex]h^2=a^2+b^2\\(b+7)^2=(b-7)^2+b^2\\b^2+14b +49=b^2-14b+49+b^2\\0=b^2-28b\\0=b*(b-28)[/tex]

Therefore there are two possible solutions to this equation: b = 0 or b = 28 ft.

So we take the one that is different from zero (since we are looking for the side of a triangle) That is: b = 28 ft

Then hypotenuse = 28 + 7 = 35 ft

and the shorter leg = 28 - 7 = 21 ft

A softball player hits a ball whose path is modeled by f(x) = -0.0005x2 + 0.2127x + 3,
where x is the distance from home plate (in feet) and y is the height of the ball above the
ground (in feet). What is the highest point this ball will reach? If the ball was hit to center
field which has an 8 foot fence located 410 feet from home plate, was this hit a home run?
Explain.

Answers

Answer:

highest point is 229.20645 ft

yes it's a home run because at 410 ft the ball is at 81.802 ft which is way over the 8 ft fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum height achieved by the ball is 25.62 ft and it cannot be a home run because height of fence h(f) > 6.16 ft (vertical distance of ball at x = 410 ft).

What is Parabola?

A parabola is a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. A parabola can be represented with help of following equation -

y = a(x-h)² + k

Given in question is the equation representing path of the ball given by -

y = f(x) = - 0.0005x² + 0.2127x + 3.

Here, 'x' represents the distance from the home plate and 'y' is the height of the ball above the ground.

PART - 1 - Maximum height

Assume that -

a = - 0.0005

b = 0.2127

c = 3

So, we can write the given equation as -

y = ax² + bx + c

Now, differentiate it with respect to x, we get -

dy/dx = 2ax + b

For maximum height -

dy/dx = 0

2ax + b = 0

x = - b/2a

x = - 0.2127/ (2 x -0.0005) = 212.7 ft.

y[max] = - 0.0005 x (212.7)² + 0.2127 x 212.7 + 3.

y[max] = - 22.62 + 48.24 = 25.62 ft

PART - 2 - Vertical limits.

At horizontal distance of x = 410 feet, the vertical distance 'y' of the ball will be -

y [410] = - 0.0005 x (410)² + 0.2127 x 410 + 3.

y [410] = - 84.05 + 90.21

y [410] = 6.16

Height of the fence = 8 ft

Since, height of fence > 6.16 ft it cannot be home run.

Therefore, the maximum height achieved by the ball is 25.62 ft and it cannot be a home run because height of fence h(f) > 6.16 ft (vertical distance of ball at x = 410 ft).

a grocery store scale is accurate to within 0.4 pound. the scale indicates that a bag of apples weighs 3.7 pounds. Which of the following describes all possible weights of the bag of apples?

Answers

Answer:

3.3 lb ≤ Weight ≤ 4.1 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not given; however, the question can still be solved.

Given

Weight = 3.7 lb

Range = 0.4 lb

The possible weight is calculated by (1) & (2) below

1. Maximum

Maximum = 3.7 lb + 0.4 lb

Maximum = 4.1 lb

2. Minimum

Minimum = 3.7 lb - 0.4 lb

Minimum = 3.3 lb

Hence, the range the weight of the apple can be is

3.3 lb ≤ Weight ≤ 4.1 lb

Frederick and Kate have 17 1/3 cups of flour. They want to make loaves of banana bread for bake sale. Frederick has a recipe that calls for 1 5/8 cups of flour. Kate has a recipe that calls for 1 3/4 cups of flour. Which of the following statements true? Will Fredericks recipe make 10 loaves?

Answers

Answer:

The statement: Will Fredericks recipe make 10 loaves? Is:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must add the cups of total flour to have a decimal or fractional value.

Total cups of flour: [tex]17+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{52}{3}[/tex]

And the cups of flour in Frederick's recipe.

Cups of flour in Frederick's recipe: [tex]1+\frac{5}{8}= \frac{13}{8}[/tex]

In the end, you must divide the total flour in the flour of Frederick's recipe to obtain the number of loaves.

Loaves with Frederick's recipe: [tex]\frac{52}{3} /\frac{13}{8}= \frac{32}{3}[/tex] or [tex]10.666667[/tex]

How you can see, with Frederick's recipe, he can make 10 completed loaves, and there is a little flour left over.
