Answer:

Speed_still  = 12.25 mi/h

Speed_current = 1.75 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first trip, the motorboat goes upstream

Speed_boat = Speed_still - Speed_stream

The speed is defined as

Speed = Distance / time

This means

Speed_boat  = 21 miles/ 2 h = 10.5 mi/h

Then

Speed_still - Speed_stream = 10.5 mi/h

In the second trip:

Speed_boat = Speed_still + Speed_stream

Speed_boat  = 21 miles/ 1.5 h = 14 mi/h

Speed_still + Speed_stream = 14 mi/h

Then, the ystem of equations result

Speed_still + Speed_stream = 14 mi/h

Speed_still - Speed_stream = 10.5 mi/h

If we add them together

2*Speed_still  = 24.5 mi/h

Speed_still  = 12.25 mi/h

Speed_stream  = 14 mi/h - 12.25 mi/ h = 1.75 mi/h

one batch of cookies makes 24 cookies. the recipe calls for 1 3/4 cups of flour. if Sarah needs to make 60 cookies how much flou
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

4 3/8 cups of flour needed for 60 cookies

Explanation:

You can multiply 24 by 2.5 to get 60 so you'd multiply the cups of flour by 2.5 as well. You multiply both of them by the same number because it's a ratio. You'd multiply then simplify to get the answer 4 3/8 cups of flour.
