Jennifer can paddle a certain distance with the current in 2.5 hr. To cover the same distance against the current, she takes 5 hr. How many times faster is her rate of paddling in still water than the speed of the current?

Answers

Answer 1
the answer would be 2 times faster
Answer 2

The rate of paddling in still water is 3 times than the speed of the current.

What is Speed?

The formula for the speed is calculated as;

Speed = Distance / Time

Given that;

Jennifer can paddle a certain distance with the current in 2.5 hr.

And, To cover the same distance against the current, she takes 5 hr.

Let distance be D , speed is S and the current speed will be C.

The we can formulate two conditions as;

(S + C) × 2.5 = D  .... (I)

And, (S - C) × 5 = D  .... (II)

Solve equation (i) and (ii) we get;

S = 3C

Thus, we can say that;

The rate of paddling in still water is 3 times than the speed of the current.

The distance between city hall and the post office is 6 1/2 miles . The library site is 1 1/4 closer to city hall than to post office

Answers

26/5
6 1/2 divided 4 1/4

City hall to post office = 6 1/2 miles

City hall to library site = 1 1/4 miles

library site to post office = unknown. let it be x.    5 1/4 miles

1 1/4 miles + x = 6 1/2 miles

x = 6 1/2 miles - 1 1/4 miles

Find x.

1) convert the mixed fractions into fractions. 6 1/2 = 13/2 ; 1 1/4 = 5/4

x = 13/2 - 5/4

2) get the common denominator. 4 is twice as much as 2. multiply 13/2 by 2/2

13/2 * 2/2 = 26/4

3) Subtract the top numbers and put over the same denominator

x = 26/4 - 5/4 = (26-5) / 4 = 21 / 4

4) simplify the fraction

x = 21/4 = 5 1/4 miles from library site to post office.

A room has an area of 60 square meters and a perimeter of 32 meters. What are the length and width of the room?

Answers

L x W = 60
2(L + W) = 32
 L + W = 16
 L = 16 - W

substitute  L = 16 - W into L x W = 60
L x W = 60
(16 - W) x W = 60
16W -W^2 = 60
W^2 - 16W + 60 = 0
(W - 6)(W - 10) = 0
W - 6 = 0; W = 6
W - 10 = 0; W = 10

answer
Length = 10 m and Width = 6 m

The length of the room  is  10 m and width is 6m.

We have given that the area is 60 square meters

and perimeter of the square is 32 meters

What is the formula for the area of the square?

[tex]Area =L \times W[/tex]

we have given that the area is 60

Therefore,[tex]L \times W = 60.......(1)[/tex]

What is the formula for the perimeter?

[tex]Perimeter=2(L + W)[/tex]

From given we get,

[tex]2(L + W) = 32[/tex]

[tex]L + W = 16[/tex]

[tex]L = 16 - W.......(2)[/tex]

Substitute the value of  L = 16 - W into (1) we get,

[tex]L \times W = 60[/tex]

[tex](16 - W) \times W = 60[/tex]

[tex]16W -W^2 = 60[/tex]

[tex]W^2 - 16W + 60 = 0[/tex]

[tex](W - 6)(W - 10) = 0[/tex]

[tex]W - 10 = 0\implies W = 10\\W - 6 = 0\implies W = 6[/tex]

Therefore the length is  10 m and width is 6m.

tony buy 3 packages of gum. each package has 5 packs of gum.each pack of gumhas 10 pieces in it how many pieces of gum are in all three packages

Answers

1 pack has 5 seperate packs, each with 10 pieces
=>50 pieces
50*3=150 pieces of gum

Tony has a total of 150 pieces of gum in three packages, calculated by multiplying the number of packages (3) by the number of packs per package (5) and the number of pieces per pack (10).

To calculate the number of pieces of gum Tony has in all three packages, we need to multiply the number of packages by the number of packs in each package, and then by the number of pieces in each pack. First, we have 3 packages and each package contains 5 packs of gum. So, the total number of packs in the three packages is:

3 packages * 5 packs per package = 15 packs of gum

Next, each pack has 10 pieces of gum, so the total number of pieces of gum in all the packs is:

15 packs of gum * 10 pieces per pack = 150 pieces of gum

Therefore, Tony has a total of 150 pieces of gum in the three packages.

Calista has 4 one-dollar bills, 2 five-dollar bills, and 3 ten-dollar bills in her wallet. If she randomly chooses two bills, what is the probability that both of them are five-dollar bills?

Answers

The probability that Calista randomly chooses two five-dollar bills from her wallet is 1/36.

To calculate the probability of Calista choosing two five-dollar bills from her wallet, we start by determining the total number of ways she can choose two bills from her wallet, regardless of their denomination. Calista has a total of 9 bills (4 ones, 2 fives, and 3 tens), so the total number of ways to choose two bills is calculated using the combination formula C(n, k) = n! / (k!(n-k)!), where n is the total number of items and k is the number of items to choose.

The total number of ways to choose 2 bills from 9 is C(9, 2) = 9! / (2!(9-2)!) = 36. Next, we need to find the number of ways to choose 2 five-dollar bills from the 2 she has, which is simply C(2, 2) = 2! / (2!(2-2)!) = 1. The probability that both bills are five-dollar bills is then the number of ways to choose 2 fives divided by the total number of ways to choose any 2 bills, or P(both fives) = 1 / 36.

At noon the temperature was 12°. It rose 8° during the afternoon, then dropped 28°by midnight. What was the temperature by midnight?

Answers

To find the temperature by midnight, you would start from 12 and since it rose, you would add 8 to 12 which would give you 20. Then since it dropped by 28, you would subtract 20 by 28 which would give you -8. This means that the temperature by midnight would be -8°.

The temperature by midnight will be 32°.

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a type of parallelogram having equal diagonals.

All the interior angles of a rectangle are equal to the right angle.

The diagonals of a rectangle do not bisect each other.

Given that,

The length and width of Cat's driveway are 25 ft and x ft respectively.

And, the length and width of Fred's driveways are 2x ft  and x + 10 ft respectively.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given as,

2(l + b)

Substitute the values to obtain the perimeters as,

Perimeter of Cat's driveway = 2( x + 25) ft

And, perimeter of Fred's driveway = 2(2x + x + 10) ft.

As per the question,

2( x + 25) = 2(2x + x + 10)

=> ( x + 25) = (2x + x + 10)

=> x = 15/2

       = 7.5

Hence, the length and width of Cat's driveway are 25 ft and 7.5 ft respectively.

Diana invested $3000 in a savings account for 3 years. She earned $450 in interest over that time period. What interest rate did she earn? Use the formula I=Prt to find your answer, where I is interest, P is principal, r is rate and t is time. Enter your solution in decimal form rounded to the nearest hundredth. For example, if your solution is 12%, you would enter 0.12.

Answers

If I=P*r*t, we can input 450 in for I, 3000 in for the principal (P, or the starting rate), and 3 for t=time because there were three years, resulting in 450=9000*r. Next, we can divide both sides by 9000 to get 0.05 or 5% as our answer.

If a linear equation is written in form y=1/2x-2, which method could be used to graph the line represented by the equation?

Answers

Final answer:

The linear equation y=1/2x -2 can be graphed by first plotting the y-intercept, then using the slope to plot additional points.

Explanation:

Such equations can be graphed using a few different methods. One common approach is plotting data pairs on a coordinate grid.

For the given equation y = 1/2x - 2, it is convenient to begin by identifying b, which is the y-intercept. In our case, b equals -2. This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Next we need to understand what the slope (1/2 in our equation) means: for every step we move to the right along the x-axis (in the positive direction), we move half a step up along the y-axis.

To graph the equation, you start at the y-intercept (0,-2) and use the slope to identify subsequent points. For instance, if x = 2, then y = 1/2*2 - 2 = -1.  Repeat this process with different x-values to plot enough points, and then connect them to draw the line written by the equation.
