While Brendan is vacationing with his family at the cabin, they take a motorboat on the river. The motorboat travels

taurus [48]

Part 1: The speed of the boat traveling downstream is $(18+w)$ miles per hr.

The speed of the boat traveling upstream is $(18-w)$ miles per hr.

Part 2: The speed of the current is 4 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Part (1): The motorboat travels 18 miles per hour in still.

Let w represents the speed of the current.

When the boat travels downstream, the speed of the current will get added to the speed of the boat.

Thus, the expression can be written as $(18+w)$ miles per hr

Hence, the speed of the boat traveling downstream is $(18+w)$ miles per hr.

When the boat travels upstream, the speed of the current will get subtracted to the speed of the boat.

Thus, the expression can be written as $(18-w)$ miles per hr.

Hence, the speed of the boat traveling upstream is $(18-w)$ miles per hr.

Part (2): The boat travels 49 miles upstream in the same time it takes to travel 77 miles downstream.

The distance formula is given by $distance $=$ speed $\times$ time$

Substituting, we have,

$49=(18-w)t\\49=18t-wt$ ---------------(1)

$77=(18+w)t\\77=18t+wt$ ---------------(2)

Solving using elimination method,

$49=18 t-w t\\77=18 t+w t\\-------\\126=36t$

Dividing both sides by 36, we have,

$t=3.5$

Substituting $t=3.5$ in $49=18 t-w t$ , we get,

$49=18(3.5)-w (3.5)\\$

$49=63-3.5w\\$

$-14=-3.5w\\$

$4=w$

Thus, the speed of the current is $w=4$ miles per hour.

A drawing of a surfboard in a catalog shows its length as 8 4/9 inches. Find the actual length of the surfboard if 1/2 inch leng

jonny [76]

3/8 of a foot = 3/8 x 12/1 or 4 1/2 inches

So our 1/2 inch grows by a factor of 9 because 4 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 9 Think how many 1/2 dollars are in 4 1/2 dollars. (Answer is 9)

So our 8 4/9 in the catalog has to grow the same

8 4/9 x 9 = 8 4/9 x 9/1 = 76/9 x 9/1 or 76 inches which is 6 ft 4 inches.
(76 ÷12 = 6 r4)

Mr. Gonzales has only $42.50 to spend at a clothing store. He wants to buy a shirt that costs $29, including tax, and some brace

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: The equation is $29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50, and the solution is x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The data we have is:

Gonzales has $42.50

He wants to buy:

a shirt that costs $29

some bracelets that cost $4.50 each.

The equation that we need to solve is:

Total cost = money that Gonzales has.

The cost is $29 + x*$4.50

where x is the number of bracelets he can buy.

The equation that we need to solve is:

$29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50

to solve it we must isolate x:

x*$4.50 = $42.50 - $29 = $13.50

x = 13.50/4.50 = 3

So we have that Mr. Gonzales can buy a total of 3 bracelets.

Which shows a recursive and an explicit formula for a sequence whose initial term is 14 and whose common difference is −4? A. A(

liberstina [14]

Answer: A. A(1) = 14; A(n) = (n − 1) −4; A(n) = 14 + (n − 1)(−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence is a sequence that is identified by their common difference. Let a be the first term, n be the number of terms and d be the common difference.

For an arithmetic sequence, common difference 'd' is added to the preceding term to get its succeeding term. For example if a is the first term of a sequence, second term will be a+d, third term will give a+d+d and so on to generate sequence of the form,

a, a+d, a+3d, a+4d...

Notice that each new term keep increasing by a common difference 'd'

The nth term of the sequence Tn will therefore give Tn = a+(n-1)d

If the initial (first) term is 14 and common difference is -4, the nth of the sequence will be gotten by substituting a = 14 and d = -4 in the general formula to give;

Tn = 14+(n-1)-4 (which gives the required answer)

Tn = 14-4n+4

Tn = 18-4n
