Seattle Kayaking Club

By admin, October 13, 2009 10:20 pm

can you help please?

1. Tim paddles his kayak 12 km upstream against a 3 km/h current and back again in 5 hours and 20 minutes. In that time, how far could he have paddled in still water?

2)Members of the Ski Club contributed equally to obtain $1800 for a holiday trip. When 6 members found they could not go, their contributions were refunded and each remaining member then had to pay and additional $10 to remain at their goal of $1800. How many went on the trip?

3) When Ace Airlines changed to planes that flew 100 km/h faster than its old ones, the time of its 2800 km Dallas-Seattle flight was reduced by 30 minutes. Find the speed of the new planes.

Can you please also show me how to do this?

Thank you for your help

QUESTION 1:

A)
Distance = 12 km
Time = 5 hrs 20 min <=> 5.333 hrs
Speed = 2.25 km/hr — Distance/Time –

B)
New Speed = 5.25 km/hr — (2.25 + 3) –
Time = 5 hrs 20 min <=> 5.333 hrs
New Distance = 27.998 km — Speed x Time –
