A slow boat to china travels at a constant speed of 17.25 miles per hour for 200 hours. how far was the voyage?

3450 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the number 17.25 by 200 since the boat is traveling for 200 hours and each hour is 17.25 miles to get 3450 miles which is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance can be found by multiply the speed by the time.

Where d is the distance, s is the speed, and t is the time.

1. Define Variables

The speed is 17.25 miles per hour and the time is 200 hours.

2. Calculate Speed

Substitute the values into the formula.

Multiply. The hours (hr) will cancel each other out and leave miles as the units.

The voyage was 3,450 miles

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
