P = paddling speed

C = speed of the current

Upstream: 6 = 4 (P - C. Downstream: 6 = 3 (P + C)

4P - 4C = 6

3P + 3C = 6

12P - 12C = 18

12P + 12C = 24

Add the equations:

24P = 42. P = 42/24 = 1.75 mph

Subtract the equations:

-24C = -6

C = 0.25 mph

In a cafeteria,
____ [38]

Answer:

2 students

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find the number of students eating either salads and sandwiches. Then, you add the number of students eating salads and sandwiches together. Finally, you will subtract that number from the 12 total students

<h3>2/3 * 12/1 = 8 (sandwiches)</h3><h3>1/6 * 12/1 = 2 (salads)</h3><h3>8 + 2 = 10 (combined)</h3><h3>12 - 10 = 2 students</h3><h3 />

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 30 students, 18 of them play basketball and 9 of them
marshall27 [118]

Probability that a student will play both is 7/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students = 30

No. of students who play basketball = 18

Probability that a student will play basketball = 18/30

= 3/5

No. of students who play baseball = 9

Probability that a student will play baseball = 9/30

= 3/10

No. of students who play neither sport = 10

Probability that a student will play neither sport = 10/30

= 1/3

To find :

Probability that a student will play both = p(student will play both)

No.of students who play sport = 30 - 10

= 20

Out of 20 students 18 play basketball and 9 play baseball.

So, some students play both the sports.

No. of students who play both sports = 18 + 9 - 20

= 7

p(student will play both) = 7/30

Probability that a student will play both is 7/30
