Answer:

4.5 mph or 9/2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the rate of the current

Formula: Distance = rate x time

where rate upstream =(12-x) and time =2 hours

15=(12-x)(2)

15=24–2x

2x=24–15

2x= 9

x=9/2=4.5 miles per hour (rate of current)

If there are 40 boys and 60 girls in a room, fill out all of the possible ratios of boys to girls that could be made.
galina1969 [7]

40+60=100. So one person equals 1%, meaning 40% are boys and 60% are girls. By simplifying, we will find that possible ratios below the value of 100 are 40:60, 4:6, 2:3, and 20:30.
