Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

b = speed rate of the boat.

c = speed rate of the current.


keeping in mind that, as the boat goes Upstream, against the current, it's speed is not "b", but is really " b - c ", because the current is subtracting speed from it.

likewise, when the boat is going Downstream, because is going with the current, is really going faster at " b + c ".

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{km}{distance}&\stackrel{kmh}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
Upstream&305&b-c&5\\
Downstream&651&b+c&7
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
305=(b-c)(5)\implies 61=b-c\implies 61+c=\boxed{b}\\
651=(b+c)(7)\implies 93=b+c\\
----------------------\\
93=\boxed{61+c}+c
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
93=61+2c\implies 32=2c\implies \cfrac{32}{2}=c\implies 16=c

what is the speed of the boat?  well, 61 + c = b.

Tyler selects one card from the three(4,5, and a King), and rolls a number cube. What is the probability that she selects the 5,
Svet_ta [14]

\frac{1}{3}Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

given that Tyler selects one card from the three(4,5, and a King), and rolls a number cube.

We find that A the event of selecting one card and B getting a number on rolling a number cube are independent events.

No of cards = 3

Prob of selecting 5 from 3 cards = P(1,2,3, or 4) = \frac{2}{3}

When rolling a number cube (assuming fair) there is equally likely for all numbers to appear from 1 to 6

Prob of getting 5 =\frac{1}{6}

Prob of getting less than 5 =

Since these two events are independent,

the probability that she selects the 5, and rolls a number less than 5

= Product of probabilities

= \frac{1}{3}*\frac{2}{3}

=\frac{2}{9}
