Apparently there's no solution?? i tried solving it, and i also used a special calculator, but no solution came up
Answer:
(im not sure what the first question is asking me)
Speed of the current is 2 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason the current is 2 miles per hour is because it when going down stream they were going 14 miles per hour, going upstream they went 10. The difference is 4mph. So if the current pushes you 2mph when going down stream and holds you 2 mph when going up, the constant speed is 12mph then you add and subtract 2 becuase of the two directions youre traveling. hence 10mph and 14mph.
Converse means switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement. The converse of x > y, is y > x. Therefore, the answer to your question is y > x, switching the hypothesis and conclusion of the statement.

Answer: 155 inches</h3>
This is equivalent to approximately 12.917 feet.
===================================================
Work Shown:
(10 inches)/(2 days) = (x inches)/(31 days)
10/2 = x/31
10*31 = 2*x ... cross multiply
310 = 2x
2x = 310
x = 310/2
x = 155
Keep in mind that this water is being drained on a fairly continuous basis. This means that not all of the water is sticking around (we'd hope not anyway) at the same moment in time.
Note: 155 inches = 155/12 = 12.917 feet approximately.
--------------------------
Alternative method:
If the town got 10 inches in 2 days, this means it rains at a unit rate of 10/2 = 5 inches per day.
Multiply that by 31 days and we get 5*31 = 155 inches of total rain.
