Well, the car depreciated in value by 12%, so you could say
x-12%, or just
x-0.12.
Answer:
1300 cm = 13 m
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find meters in 1300 cm.
We know that,
1 m = 100 cm
1 cm = (1/100) m
It means,

Hence, there are 13 m in 1300 cm.
Let V, be the rate in still water and let C = rate river current
If the boat is going :
upstream, its rate is V-C and if going
downstream, its rate is V+C,
But V = 5C, then
Upstream Rate: 5C - C = 4 C
Downstream rate: 5C+C = 6C
Time = distance/Rate, (or time = distance/speed) , then:
Upstream time 12/4C and
Downstream time: 12/.6C
Upstream time +downstream time:= 2h30 ' then:
12/4C + 12/.6C = 2.5 hours
3/C + 2/C = 5/2 (2.5 h = 5/2)
Reduce to same denominator :
5C = 10 and Rate of the current = 2 mi/h
