A boat leaves Astoria and travels upstream on the Columbia river for 5 hours. The return trip only takes 3.6 hours because the boat travels 4 miles per hour faster downstream due to the current. How far does the boat travel up the Columbia? Suppossed to solve as an in equality?

10.285 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Upstream travel time = 5 hours

Return trip travel time = 3.6 hours

Let upstream travel speed = x mph

Downstream travel speed = x + 4 mph

Distance = speed * time

Upstream distance = x * 5 = 5x

Downstream distance = (x + 4) * 3.6

5x = (x + 4) * 3.6

5x = 3.6x + 14.4

5x - 3.6x = 14.4

1.4x = 14.4

x = 10.285714

x = 10.285 miles

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
