A power boat travels along a river in which the flow of water is at a constant in one direction. If the boat travels at 40 mph downstream and 30 mph upstream. What is the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the river?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

speed of boat is 35 mph

speed of river is 5mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of boat be u mph

let the speed of river be v mph

When boat travel downstream

in that case flow  of river will support the speed of boat hence

speed of river will be added to speed of boat

Thus,

speed of boat in downstream = speed of boat + speed of river = u + v

Given

the boat travels at 40 mph downstream

thus,

u + v = 40           -----1

When boat travel upstream

in that case flow  of river will oppose the speed of boat hence

speed of river will be subtracted from  speed of boat

Thus,

speed of boat in downstream = speed of boat -speed of river = u - v

Given

the boat travels at 30 mph upstream

thus,

u - v = 30  ----2

adding 1 + 2

we have

u + v = 40  

+ u - v = 30

2u = 70

u = 70/2 = 35

Thus,

speed of boat is 35 mph

using u = 35 in u + v = 40  

we have

35 + v = 40

v = 40 - 35 = 5

Thus, speed of river is 5mph.

can someone explain to me how to do this

Answers

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 2y+6 and 8y-102 are vertical angles to each other. This means that 2y+6=8y-102. [tex]6y=108[/tex], which means that y=18. [tex]2\cdot(18)+6=36+6=42[/tex]. Since one line is a straight angle, it is 180 degrees we can do [tex]3x=180-45=135[/tex], so x=45.

Answer:

y = 18

x = 46

measures of the angles:

8y - 102 = 42

2y + 6 = 42

3x = 138

Step-by-step explanation:

So first remember the verticle angles theorem, which states that, when two lines intersect there will be four angles formed; the angles that are opposite from each other will be congruent, that is,  they will have the same measure.

Using this we know that opposite angles have to be congruent:

so

(2y + 6) = (8y -102)

now there is an algebra equation that can be solved by inverse operations and simplifying

2y + 6 = 8y - 102

    +102      +102

2y + 108 = 8y

-2y             -2y

108 = 6y

/6        /6

18 = y

Also, remember that two adjacent angles that form a line will add up to 180,

so

3x + (2y + 6) = 180

*note: I could have also used (8y - 102) but I choose to use (2y + 6)

so now substitute in the value of y that was found

y = 18

3x + (2 * 18 + 6) = 180

simplify

3x + ( 36 + 6) = 180

3x + 42 = 180

now use inverse operations

3x + 42 = 180

     -42     -42

3x = 138

What is a mathematical function, equation and expression?function : In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. The set X is called the domain of the function and the set Y is called the codomain of the function.expression : A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators.equation : A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions.

Given is that joe and his friends watched a total of 41 movies this past year. if a typical movie lasts approximately 2 hours.

Assume that the number of minutes joe and his friends spent watching movies is given by [x]. Then, we can write -

[x] = 41 x 2 x 60

[x] = 41 x 120

[x] = 4920 minutes.

Therefore, the number of minutes joe and his friends spent watching movies are 4920 minutes.
