Answer:
1 mile/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Speed of the boat still in water = a
Speed of the current = b
We know from this formula that speed = distance/time
Hence,
A canoe traveled Downstream with the current and went a distance of 15 miles in three hours.
Downstream = a + b = 15/3
a + b = 5 .........Equation 1
On the return trip, the canoe traveled Upstream against the current. It took 5 hours to make the return trip.
Upstream = a - b = 15/5
a - b = 3 ..............Equation 2
Combining both Equation together
a + b = 5 .........Equation 1
a - b = 3 ..............Equation 2
Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1
2b = 2
b = 2/2
b = 1miles/hr
Since b = speed of the current which can also be called rate of the current, the rate of the current = 1 miles/hr
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


Answer:
-13/20
Step-by-step explanation:
-4/5 x 4/4 = -16/20
3/20 x 1/1 = 3/20
-16/20 + 3/20 = (-16 + 3 = -13)
-13/20
Answer: 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Marbles in bag are only red and blue ;
Probability of randomly choosing a red = 2/7
Number of red marbles in bag = 16
The total Number of marbles =?
P(choosing a red marble) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Required outcome = number of red marbles
Total possible outcomes = total number of blue and red marbles
Total number of blue and red marbles = x
P(choosing a red marble) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
2/7 = 16 / x
Cross multiply
2x = 16 * 7
2x = 112
x = 112 / 2
x = 56 marbles
Total number of marbles = 56
Equation 1 on your graph plot point 2 on your horizontal line. Then go UP 1 and to the RIGHT 3. Equation 2 use zero as your x intercept then go UP 1 and to the RIGHT 3. Good luck!
