A motorboat travels 9 miles downstream (with the current) in 30 minutes. The return trip upstream (against the current) takes 90
minutes. Which system of equations can be used to find x, the speed of the boat in miles per hour, and y, the speed of the current in miles per hour? Recall the formula d = rt. 9 = 0.5(x – y) 9 = 1.5(x + y) 9 = 1.5(x – y) 9 = 0.5(x + y) 0.5 = 9(x – y) 1.5 = 9(x + y) 1.5 = 9(x – y) 0.5 = 9(x + y)
I think I know it. The number less than 3000 and if divided by 32 the remainder is 30 is 960.The number less than 3000 and if divided by 58 the remainder is 44 is 2552.
