Answer:
3/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Speed = Distance / Time
Distance = Speed*Time
For this problem, we should bear in mind that current speed has an impact on the boat speed...
for upstream, the boat goes against the current, and so its speed is
U = V - C
where V is the speed of the boat
C is the current speed
for downstream, it will be:
D = V + C
Convert the problem into mathematical equations:
4D + 3U = 116
3D + 4U = 108
4(V+C) + 3(V-C) = 116
4V + 4C + 3V -3C =116
7V + C = 116
3(V+C) + 4(V-C) = 108
3V + 3C + 4V - 4C = 108
7V - C = 108
Solving the equations:
7V + C = 116
7V - C = 108
14V = 224
V = 16km/hr —-> speed of boat
to get C:
7(16) + C = 116
C = 4km/hr
Answer:
-7y/3z
Step-by-step explanation:
When dividing fractions, we flip the second one so that we can multiply the 2 fractions. When we do this, we get 7y/6 * -2/z. When we multiply the numerators and denominators, we get -14y/6z. Simplifying (dividing the numerator and denominator by 2), we get -7y/3z.
