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

B) Explain how to compute 2 divide 1/4 with a common denominator.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

2 divide 1/4 = \frac{2}{1} : \frac{1}{4}

What we have to do here is find a common denominator for both fractions, in this case 4, and change to equivalent fractions with a denominator of 4.

  • \frac{8}{4} : \frac{1}{4}

Then we divide across. The denominator of the answer will be 1 because the denominators are the same. Divide the numerators and get 8 ÷ 1, wich is just 8.
