Answer:

Speed of boat in still water=8km/hr

Speed of stream=3km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of boat in still water=x km/hr

Speed of stream=y km/hr

Speed of upstream=x-y km/hr

Speed of downstream=x+y km/hr

Let 1/(x-y)=a and 1/(x+y)=b

Time to go 25km up and 44 down=9

25a+44b=9----->(1)

Time to go 15km up and 22km down=5

15a+22b=5------>(2)

(2) × 2=> 30a+44b=10------>(3)

(3)-(1)=>5a=1

a=1/5

1/(x-y)=1/5

x-y=5---->(4)

Putting a=1/5 in (1),

5+44b=9

44b=4

b=1/11

1/(x+y)=1/11

x+y=11---->(5)

(4)+(5)=>2x=16

x=8

y=3

Speed of boat in still water=8km/hr

Speed of stream=3km/hr

Ne Friday night, a group of friends bought 5 containers of popcorn and 4 granola bars at the movie theatre for $42.50. The next
Tomtit [17]

In this question , it is given that p represents cost of 1 container of popcorn . Therefore cost of 5 containers of popcorn = 5p and cost of 3 containers of popcorn = 3p .

And g represents cost of 1 container of granola bars. THerefore cost of 4 containers of granola bars = 4g and cost of 6 containers of granola bars = 6g .

According to the given question, the required linear equations are

5p+4g=42.50 , 3p+6g =34.50 .

And these are the the required system of linear equation .

Which property does each equation demonstrate? x2 + 2x = 2x + x2 (3z4 + 2z3) – (2z4 + z3) = z4 + z3 (2x2 + 7x) + (2y2 + 6y) = (2
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

1 . Closure

2. Distributive

3. Closure

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the type of property exhibited or displayed by each of the equations in the question.

Equation 1 displays the closure property.

What this means that if we make an addition operation either way, we would get same answer. So we say that addition is closed for that equation.

Equation 3 exhibits closure property as well. If we go either way on the addition operation for that equation, we are bound to get the same answer.

Equation 2 exhibits the distributive property.

Each term in the bracket is multiplied by the subtraction symbol before we proceeded to complete the arithmetic operations

In general, the probability that it rains on Saturday is 25%. If it rains on Saturday, the probability that it rains on Sunday i
lora16 [44]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given statements:

The probability that it rains on Saturday is 25%.

P(Sunday)=25%=0.25

Given that it rains on Saturday, the probability that it rains on Sunday is 50%.

P(Sunday|Saturday)=50%=0.5

Given that it does not rain on Saturday, the probability that it rains on Sunday is 25%.

P(Sunday|No Rain on Saturday)=25%=0.25

We are to determine the probability that it rained on Saturday given that it rained on Sunday, P(Saturday|Sunday).

P(No rain on Saturday)=1-P(Saturday)=1-0.25=0.75

Using Bayes Theorem for conditional probability:

P(Saturday|Sunday)=\frac{P(Sunday|Saturday)P(Saturday)}{P(Sunday|Saturday)P(Saturday)+P(Sunday|No Rain on Saturday)P(No Rain on Saturday)}

=\frac{0.5*0.25}{0.5*0.25+0.25*0.75}

=0.4

There is a 40% probability that it rained on Saturday given that it rains on Sunday.

A log splitter uses a pump with hydraulic oil to push a piston, attached to which is a chisel. The pump can generate a pressure
faust18 [17]

we are given

The pump can generate a pressure of 2.3x107 pa

so,

p=2.3*10^7

a radius of 0.041 m

so,

r=0.041m

a stroke lasting 29 s, the piston moves 0.57 m

so,

h=0.57m

t=29s

Firstly, we will find area

A=\pi r^2

A=\pi (0.041)^2

A=0.00528

now, we can use power formula

P=\frac{W}{t}

F=pA

W=Fh

so, W=pAh

we can plug it

P=\frac{p*A*h}{t}

now, we can plug values

P=\frac{2.3*10^7*0.00528*0.57}{29}

now, we can simplify it

Power=2386.92414 watt.........Answer
