I have this math problem I can't solve.
"Evelyn and Meredith decided to kayak 1 mile up and then back in the Humboldt channel.
The rate of the water flowing in the channel was 2 miles per hour. The total time it took them to kayak up and back was 3 hours and 40 minutes. Assuming they were padding their double kayak at a fairly consistent rate, find the rate Evelyn and Meredith were paddling.
Step 2 - Draw a picture to model the problem.
Step 3 - Label variables and create a table.
Step 4 - Write an equation to model the problem.
Step 5 - Solve the equation. Provide supporting work and detail.
Step 6 - Explain the results."
If you can help please do.

Evelyn and Meredith were paddling at a rate of [tex]\frac{3+\sqrt{493}}{11}mph[/tex] which is equivalent to 2.29mph approximately.
Step 2: See attached picture
Step 3: In this case we only have different variables, there is the rate at which Evelyn and Meredith were paddling, the rate at which they moved when rowing upstream, the rate at which they moved when rowing downstream, the time it took them to paddle upstream and the time it took them to paddle downstream.
v = rate at which Evelyn and Meredith were paddling.
[tex]v_{up}[/tex]= velocity at which they were moving when paddling upstream.
[tex]v_{down}[/tex]= velocity at which they were moving when paddling downstreamstream.
[tex]t_{up}[/tex]= time it took them paddling upstream.
[tex]t_{down}[/tex]= time it took them paddling downstream
Se attached picture for the table.
Step 4: Building this equation will require us to combine different equations into a single one. Let's start with the equation for the final rate at which they paddled when rowing upstream.
[tex]v-2=v_{up}[/tex]
When rowing upstream, the current will drag the kayak, so we subtract it from the rate at which they were rowing.
Let's find the final rat at which they moved when rowing downstream.
[tex]v+2=v{down}[/tex]
next, the problem tells us it took them 3 hours and 40 minutes to row up and down the channel so we can convert it into just hours like this:
[tex]40min*\frac{1hr}{60min}=\frac{2}{3}hr[/tex]
[tex]3hr+\frac{2}{3}hr=\frac{11}{3}hr[/tex]
so now we can build our equation for time.
[tex]t_{up}+t_{down}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
We also know that the rate is built by dividing the distance over the time it took them to travel the distance, so:
[tex]v_{up}=\frac{1}{t_{up}}[/tex]
[tex]v_{down}=\frac{1}{t_{down}}[/tex]
If we solved each of those equations for their respective times, we would end up with the following:
[tex]t_{up}=\frac{1}{v_{up}}[/tex]
[tex]t_{down}=\frac{1}{v_{down}}[/tex]
so we can now combine all the equations together so we get:
[tex]t_{up}+t_{down}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{v_{up}}+\frac{1}{v_{down}}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{v-2}+\frac{1}{v+2}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
So this equation models the problem.
Step 5: We can solve this equation by multiplying everything by the LCD
In this case the LCD is:
3(v-2)(v+2)
so, when doing the respective multiplications we end up with:
[tex]\frac{3(v-2)(v+2)}{v-2}+\frac{3(v-2)(v+2)}{v+2}=\frac{11(3)(v-2)(v+2)}{3}[/tex]
We can now simplify to get:
3(v+2)+3(v-2)=11(v+2)(v-2)
We can now do the respective multiplications to get:
[tex]3v+6+3v-6=11(v^{2}-4)[/tex]
and we can further simplify:
[tex]6v=11v^{2}-44[/tex]
Step 5: So we can now solve it by using the quadratic formula, first, we need to rewrite the equation in standard form:
[tex]11v^{2}-6v-44=0[/tex]
So we can now use the quadratic formula:
[tex]v=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
we substitute:
[tex]v=\frac{-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4(11)(-44)}}{2(11)}[/tex]
and simplify:
[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36+1936}}{22}[/tex]
[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{1972}}{22}[/tex]
[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{4(493)}}{22}[/tex]
[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm 2\sqrt{493}}{22}[/tex]
[tex]v=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{493}}{11}[/tex]
this gives us two possible results:
[tex]v=\frac{3 + \sqrt{493}}{11}[/tex] and [tex]v=\frac{3 - \sqrt{493}}{11}[/tex]
Step 6: We only pick the first result since it's the positive result. We don't take the second one because a negative result represents the kayak moving in the opposite direction which is not how the situation was modeled.

You want to buy juices while shopping at ShopRite but are stuck between buying a bottle of apple juice and orange juice. The apple juice is 2 Liters and costs $3.00 while the orange juice is 3 Liters and costs $3.99. Which juice bottle is the better deal?
Answers
Answer:
Orange juice
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottle of apple juice costs 3 dollars for 2 liters, and the bottle of orange juice costs 3.99 dollars for 3 liters. To see which bottle has the better deal, we need to make the liters the same so we can compare them.
We can divide the 2 liters for 3 dollars ratio by 2 to get that 1 liter of apple juice costs 1.5 dollars, and we can divide the orange juice ratio by 3 to get that 1 liter of orange juice costs 1.33 dollars. We see that for 1 liter, orange juice is cheaper, so it is the better deal.

From the graph
(a)
c = 3 , then
lg a = 3 , that is
a = 10³ = 1000
(b)
Replace x by p and y = 0 in the equation

Answers
Answer:
4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
120min/12miles
10min/1mile
40min/4miles
The number of miles can she run, going at the same rate will be 4 miles. Then the correct option is C.
What is speed?The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.
We know that the speed formula
Speed = Distance/Time
Ingrid usually runs 12 miles in 2 hours.
2 hours = 120 minutes
Then the speed will be
Speed = 12 / 120
Speed = 0.1 miles per minutes
If she only has 40 minutes to run today.
Then the number of miles can she run, going at the same rate will be
Distance = 0.1 x 40
Distance = 4 miles
Then the correct option is C.

Write an equation of the form y = mx for the line shown below. If appropriate,

Answers
Answer:
y = - 0.5x
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1) ← 2 points on the line
m = [tex]\frac{-1-2}{2-(-4)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-3}{2+4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-3}{6}[/tex] = - 0.5
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 0 ) ⇒ c = 0
