Answer:

\frac{1}{5}x=25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of books in a shipment.

We are asked to write an equation for the given description.

1/5 of a shipment of books would be \frac{1}{5}x.

1/5 of a shipment of books weights 25 pounds. We can represent this information in an equation as:

\frac{1}{5}x=25

Therefore, our required equation would be \frac{1}{5}x=25.

A kayaker spends a morning paddling on a river. She travels 9 miles upstream and 9 miles downstream in a total of 6 hours. In st
tresset_1 [31]
To answer this item, we have 4 as the speed of the kayaker in still water and the speed of current be y.

When the karayaker moves upstream or against the current, his speed would be 4 - y. Further, if he moves downstream or with the current, the total speed would be 4 + y. The time utilized for the travel is equal to the ratio of the distance and the speed. 

 Total time = 9/(4 - y)  + 9/(4 + y) = 6

We multiply the equation by (4-y)(4+y)
              9(4-y) + 9(4 + y) = 6(4-y)(4+y)

Simplifying,
                72 = 96 - 6y²
Transposing all the constants to only one side of the equation and rearranging,
               6y² = 96 - 72
                 y² = 4
                    y = 2

Hence, the speed of the river's current is 2 miles/hr. <em>The answer is letter B.) 2 miles/hour.</em>
