Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:
n = 600/5 = 120.
The proportion of gold bars is given by:
p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30
Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:
nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

#SPJ1
The expected value is to get either a $5 bill or a $10 bill because of it has more of it's kind in the wallet.
The answer to b is 24×600=14400
24=hours in a day
600=blooded pumped per hour
14400=the amount the blood is pumped a day
Answer:
2 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Rate of river current = x km/h
Speed of Peter's boat = 4x km/h
He takes 15 km trip up (opposite direction)
His speed upstream = 4x - x
= 3x
His speed is 3x and distance is 15 km
Time = Distance / Speed
15/3x
= 5/x
And
Moving downstream (same direction)
Speed will be 4x + x = 5x
Distance = 15km,
speed = 5x
Time = Distance / Speed
= 15/5x
= 3/x
Total time take for trip = 4 hours
Total time take for trip = upstream + downstream
4 =5/x + 3/x
4 = 8/x
Cross product
4 * x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
Rate of river current = x km/h
= 2 km/h
