complete question:
A ship traveled for a total of 85 miles over the course of 5 hours. Heading west, the ship traveled at an average speed of 14 miles per hour, and heading north, it traveled at an average speed of 19 miles per hour. For how many hours was the ship heading north?
Answer:
The ship heading north traveled for 3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
A ship travels for a total of 85 miles over the course of 5 hours journey. The speed of the journey can be calculated below.
speed = distance/time
total distance = 85
total time = 5 hours
speed = 85/5
speed = 17 miles/hr
West direction
Heading west the ship traveled at an average speed of 14 miles per hour. The speed can be represented for this journey as follows.
speed = distance/time
14 = dist/time
let
a = time traveled west
distance = 14a
North direction
speed = dist/time
19 = dist/time
time travel north = 5 - a
distance = 19(5 - a)
distance = 95 - 19a
Total distance traveled = 85 miles
85 = 14a + 95 - 19a
85 = -5a + 95
-10 = -5a
a = -10/-5
a = 2
The ship heading north will travel for 5 - 2 = 3 hours
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as ratio of vinegar to oil in fraction form:

That's what we're given. If we are looking to find how much oil he needs if he's using 9 ounces of vinegar, then 9 goes on top with the vinegar stuff and x goes on bottom as the unknown amount of oil:

Cross multiply to get
5x = 90 and
x = 18
Which you probably could do without the proportions. If he is using 5 ounces of vinegar and double that amount of oil, then it just makes sense that if he uses 9 ounces of vinegar he will double that amount in oil to use 18 ounces.
It is called a scale factor :)
The answer will be 17 tons.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
14 T 1,000 lb. + 2 T 1,000 lb.
As we know that

So, 14 T 1,000 lb. is given by

Similarly,

so,
2T 1,000 lb. is given by

So, 14 T 1,000 lb. + 2 T 1,000 lbs is given by

Hence, the answer will be 17 tons.
