Answer:
The speed is still water is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimentionally speaking, speed is distance divided by time. Since, the person is travelling downstream, absolute speed is equal to the sum of current speed and speed of the person regarding current. Both components are constant. That is:

Where:
- Current speed, measured in miles per hour.
- Speed of the person regarding current, measured in miles per hour.
- Distance travelled downstream, measured in miles.
- Time spent on travelling, measured in hours.
Speed in still water occurs when current speed is zero. Then, such variable is obtained after subtracting current speed on both sides of the expression. Hence:

The speed is still water is

2 cakes - Theresa's and Joe's
Theresa's cake had 6 pieces after she cut it. (2 times the size of Joe's pieces)
Joe's cake had 12 pieces after he cut it. (1/2 the size of Theresa's pieces)
We know that 8/12ths of ONE cake were eaten and that Joe ate 2 of his pieces.
We want to know how many pieces Theresa ate of her cake. Keeping in mind that her pieces are equal to 2 of Joe's pieces we can solve this question.
8/12 eaten total
if 2/12 by Joe
then 8-2 = 6, 6/12 by Theresa
(BUT: Theresa's pieces were twice the size of Joe's so we will divide by 2)
6/12 = 3/6
Answer: Theresa ate 3 pieces of her cake
Answer:
2(-2)-5(-2)+12
-4-(-10)+12
6+12
18
