D=rt
r=(boatrate+riverrate)=(x+2)mph

d=528ft=528/5280mi=1/10mi
t=1/3hr
remember to keep the same units
so

1/10=(x+2)(1/3)
times both sides by 3
3/10=x+2
minus 2 or 20/10
-17/10=x
-1.7=x
it would be going -1.7mph (means going backwards)

Oatmeal is made by mixing 15 cups of hot water to 6 cups of oats.

Answer:

  • 2/5 cups oats per cup water
  • 2.5 cups water per cup oats

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of the fraction is the unit you want 1 of.

  (6 cups oats)/(15 cups water) = (6/15) cups oats/(1 cup water)

  = (2/5 cups oats)/(1 cup water)

1 cup of water would need 2/5 cups of oats.

__

Obviously, the other ratio is the reciprocal of this.

  (1 cup water)/(2/5 cups oats) = (5/2 cups water)/(1 cup oats)

1 cup of oats would need 2.5 cups of water
