Downstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 2 hours
rate = 12/2 = 6 mph
----------------
Upstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 4 hrs
rate = 12/4 = 3 mph
----
Equations:
Downstream: b + c = 6
Upstream::: b - c = 3
------
Add to get:
2b = 9
b = 4.5 mph (speed of the boat in still water.)
-----
Solve for "c":
b + c = 6
4.5 + c = 6
c = 1.5 mph (speed of the current)
The answer is 1.5 mph
Answer:
13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
28/36 ratio
annual income: 86,250
28+36 = 64
28/64 * 86,250 = 0.4375 * 86,250 = 37,734.375
36/64 * 86,250 = 0.5625 * 86,250 = 48,515.625
28/36 ⇒ 37,734.375/48,515.625
This really depends on the fraction; if there are variables in the equation, if they are full numbers,etc. I'd really recommend looking up khan academy on YouTube and that will really help you out!
