A motorboat can maintain a constant speed of 48 miles per hour relative to the water. The boat makes a trip upstream to a certain point in 19 ​minutes; the return trip takes 13 minutes. What is the speed of the​ current?

Answers

Answer 1

The speed of the​ current will be 8.89 miles per hour.

Given that,

The constant speed of motorboat = x = 48 miles per hour

And,

The Time taken by boat to make the upstream trip = 19/60 hour

And,

The Time taken by boat to make the return trip = 13/60 hour

Now,

According to the question,

Let,

The speed of the current = y  miles per hour

And,

The total distance covered = z miles

And,

We know that,

Speed = Distance/Time

So,

For the upstream trip,

x - y = z/(19/60),

So,

z = (x-y) * (19/60)     .....(i)

And,

For downstream trip

x + y = z/(13/60)

So,

z = (x + y) * (13/60)     .....(ii)

From equations (i) and (ii),

We get,

(x - y) * (19/60) = (x + y) * (13/60)

i.e.

(48 - y) * (0.32) = (48 + y) * (0.22)

On solving we get,

15.36 - 0.32y = 10.56 + 0.22y

We get,

0.54y = 4.8

y = 4.8/0.54 = 8.89 miles per hour

So,

The speed of current = 8.89 miles per hour

Hence we can say that the speed of the​ current will be 8.89 miles per hour.

John and Sam have a lawn mowing service. At one home, John can mow the lawn by himself in 2 hours, but it takes Sam 2.5 hours. How many hours twill it take them to mow the same lawn
together? Give the answer correct to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

3/5 hours or 36 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

John could mow three of these lawns in three hours (3/1 = three), while Sam could only mow two in three hours (3/1.5 = two). Therefore, the two of them could cut 5 lawns in 3 hours (3+2). Together, they can cut the same lawn in three and a half hours, or 36 minutes.

A patient is to receive 0.25 mg of Medication A per kg of body weight per day. If the patient is a 157 lb man, how much medication A will he need?

Answers

The patient needs 17.66 mg of medication A .

Unitary method is "A way of finding a single-unit value from a multi-unit value, and then finding a multi-unit value from a single-unit value."For simplicity, always write what you calculate on the right and what you know on the left.In order to do that, we must first find the value of one thing by division and then find the value of more or fewer things by multiplication.

It is given that a patient has weight 157 lbs.

We apply division because we need to find the cost of one item given the  cost of many items. If you need to find the cost of many items from the cost of one item,  apply the multiplication operation.

We need to convert this weight in kilogram using unitary method , we get      1 pound have = 0.45 kilogram

           157 pound will have [tex]=157\times0.45[/tex]

                                              [tex]=70.65[/tex] kilogram

A patient receive 0.25 mg of Medication A per kg

Using unitary method , we get

A cargo truck is traveling 70 miles per hour and plans to travel 840 miles, plus or minus 105 miles, depending on fuel levels. Fnd the minimum and maximum number of hours the truck will travel at that speed.
The minimum is 10.5 hours and the maximum is not 12.2 hours.​

Answers

The minimum and a maximum number of hours the truck will travel at that speed are 10.5 and 13.5 hours respectively.

What is velocity?

Velocity is the rate of distance covered per time. Velocity could be average or instantaneous.

Average velocity = total distance / total time taken

Units of velocity are given by ⇒ meter/second

Speed of truck = 70 miles/hour

Maximum distance = 840 + 105 = 945 miles.

Minimum distance = 840 - 105 = 735 miles.

Now,

Time = distance / velocity

Minimum time = minimum distance / velocity

So,

Minimum time = 735 / 70 = 10.5 hour.

Maximum time = maximum distance / velocity.

Maximum time = 945 / 70 = 13.5 hour.

Hence "The minimum and a maximum number of hours the truck will travel at that speed are 10.5 and 13.5 hours respectively".

Answers

The correct answer is C. Exponential growth. As the function given f(x) = ½ • (5)ª is in exponential form, its range f(x) will increase for any input x.

What is termed as  Exponential growth?Exponential growth happens when the larger you are, the faster you grow, making you even larger. Compound interest or population growth characterizes growth.It is termed exponential growth because it is only mathematically described by multiplying time by the exponent or power of the base. The population is then equal to some arbitrary number to a power of the growth rate multiplied by the time. Typically, the arbitrary number is 2, and the growth rate is given as the reciprocal of a doubling time.

The given function is defined as;

f(x) = ½ • (5)ª

As, the function is written in the exponent form or power form , its is said to be exponential function.

Now, for any increasing value of x, the value of function will also increase but with increasing difference.

A sequence is defined recursively using the formula f(n+1)=-0.5f(n). If the first term of the sequence is 120, what is f(5)

Answers

Answer:

The sequence's fifth term is equal to 7.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that A sequence is defined recursively using the formula f(n+1)=-0.5f(n) and we need to calculate f(5) if the first term of the sequence is 120.

Firstly,

The definition of a series is given by the formula f (n + 1) = -0.5 f. (n).

Now, what will be f(5) if the sequence's initial term is 120, let's calculate;

Recursively, a series is defined as follows;

=> f(n) = 120 if n = 1, otherwise.

Otherwise,

=> f(n) =-0.5f(n-1) if n > 1.

Now,

=> f(1) = 120

=> f(2) = -0.5f(1) = -0.5(120) = -60

=> f(3) = -0.5f(2) = -0.5(-60) = 30

=> f(4) = -0.5f(3) = -0.5(30) = -15

=> f(5) = -0.5f(4) = -0.5(-15) = 7.5

So, For n > 1, f(n) = (-0.5)(n-1) × 120

Therefore, the sequence's fifth term is equal to 7.5.
