Answer:
S = v1 t1 = 7 t1 traveling downstream
S = v2 t2 = 5 t2 traveling upstream
7 t1 = 5 t2
7 (6 - t2) = 5 t2 since t1 + t2 = 6
42 - 7 t2 = 5 t2
t2 = 42 / 12 = 3.5 hrs so t1 = 2.5 hrs
S = 7 t1 = 7 * 2.5 = 17.5 mi
Also, S = 5 t2 = 5 * 3.5 = 17.5 mi
62.5/100 and 0.625 are both equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you meant :
the restaurant has 20 1/2 pounds of bananas.
one smoothie uses 1/8 pound of bananas.
how many smoothies can be made with the amount of available bananas ?
the answer is as many as the times 1/8 fit into 20 1/2.
so, we actually calculate
(20 1/2) / (1/8)
first we will convert the mixed number into a true fraction :
20 1/2 = 40/2 + 1/2 = 41/2
so we have
41/2 / 1/8
and then, when dividing fractions we have 2 choices (they do both the same, of course, but start looking differently) :
a/b / c/d = a×d / b×c
a/b / c/d = a/b × d/c = a×d / b×c
so,
41/2 / 1/8 = 41×8 / 2×1 = 41×4 = 164
they can make 164 smoothies.
