Ricky paddles his canoe at a rate of 6 miles per hour in still water. Last weekend he canoed
on Carver Creek going downstream with the current for 9 miles and then returning upstream
against the current. If the trip took him 4 hours to complete, what equation can be used to find
the speed of the current

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we already know that the speed at which he paddles is 6 miles/hour

Since his net speed while going down stream is his speed plus the current's speed, here's what we have:

NetSpeed = HisSpeed + CurrentSpeed

Replace the values we already know:

9 = 6 + x

X = 3 miles/hour

Answer 2

An equation that can be used to find the speed of the current is,

4 = 9/(4 - x) + 9/(4 + x).

What is speed?

Velocity is the pace and direction of an item's movement, whereas speed is the time rate at which an object is travelling along a route.

Given:

Ricky paddles his canoe at a rate of 6 miles per hour in still water.

Last weekend, he canoed on Carver Creek, going downstream with the current for 9 miles and then returning upstream against the current.

The trip took him 4 hours to complete.

The downstream rate = 4 + x

And the upstream rate = 4-x.

Then an equation can be used to find the speed of the current is,

4 = 9/(4 - x) + 9/(4 + x)

Therefore, the equation is 4 = 9/(4 - x) + 9/(4 + x).

On October 1, Organic Farming purchases wind turbines for $140,000. The wind turbines are expected to last six years, have a salvage
value of $20,000, and be depreciated using the straight-line method.
1. Compute depreciation expense for the last three months of the first year.
2. Compute depreciation expense for the second year.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$5000$20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

The annual depreciation is the predicted change in value each year. The change in value for 6 years is predicted to be ...

  $140,000 -20,000 = $120,000 . . . . loss of value in 6 years

3 months is 1/4 of one year, so the loss of value in that time period is ...

  $120,000/6 × 1/4 = $5000

The depreciation expense for the last 3 months of the first year is $5000.

__

2.

The depreciation expense for the second year is ...

  $120,000/6 = $20,000

A college employs 15 stewards. What is the average monthly wage of the stewards if the college pays 226.20 in wages each month?​

Answers

Answer:

$15.08

Step-by-step explanation:

As the value 226.20 is the total of all wages, you can work out the mean.

Mean averages are usually worked out as the total / number of values.

Because you already know the total is 226.20 and the number of values is 15 different wages, divide 226.20 by 15 to get $15.08.

The ratio of ronnys tern, dougs rent and ronalds rent is 4:5:8. Their total rent if $3723. What is the cost of each persons rent

Answers

Answer:

The cost of Ronny is $876, Dough is $1095 and Ronald is $1752.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, make all ratios into units:

Let Ronny = 4 units, Doug = 5 units,

Ronald = 8 units, Total = $3723

4 units + 5 units + 8 units = 17 units

17 units = $3723

1 unit = $3723 ÷ 17

1 unit = $219

Given that 1 unit is equals to $219. Let find the amounts:

Ronny = 4 × 219 = $876

Doug = 5 × 219 = $1095

Ronald = 8 × 219 = $1752

A little mermaid can swim 12 miles downstream in the same amount
of time she can swim 8 miles upstream. What is the little mermaid's
speed in still water if the speed of the current is 4 mph?

Answers

Answer:

20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

time = distance / speed

speed up stream = s - 4

speed down stream = s + 4

time up = time down

8 / (s - 4) = 12 / (s + 4)

cross multiply

8s + 32 = 12s - 48

subtract 8v from both sides

32 = 4s - 48

add 48 to both sides

80 = 4s

Divide both sides by 4

20 = s

20mph

A

B

C
2/5×1/4



D
2/5÷1/4

Answers

Answer:

C) 2/5×1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing by a number is the same by multiplying by the reciprocal of the number.

For Example:

1/2 divided by 3 would be the same as 1/2 x 1/3

So for this problem we are given that 2/5 is divided by 4 which would be the same as 2/5 multiplied by the reciprocal of 4 which is 1/4 and thus the answer is option C which is 2/5×1/4
