Let the speed of the current be x mi/hr
speed upstream=(12-x) mi/hr
speed downstream=(12+x) mi/hr
It takes 3 hours longer to travel upstream than downstream, thus
time taken upstream=68/(12-x)
time taken to travel downstream=68/(12+x)
the difference in time will be:
68/(12-x)-68/(12+x)=3
solving for x we get:
x=2.98 mi/hr

Thus the rate of current is 2.98 mi/hr

Is 5/8 a rational number?
bearhunter [10]
5/8 is a rational number because 5/8 as a percentage is 62.5. As long as the number doesn't go on forever without any patterns, it will be a rational number. If it does go on forever and doesn't have a pattern then it is an irrational number.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
romanna [79]

Answer:

Area of ΔXYZ = n(r * r) square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of ΔABC are 30 units, 40 units and 60 units.

Corresponding sides of another triangle XYZ are r times as long as the sides of ΔABC.

Therefore, sides of ΔXYZ will be, 30r units, 40r units and 60r units.

Perimeter of the triangle XYZ = 30r + 40r + 60r

                                                   = 130r units

If the area of ΔABC = n square units

Then the ratio of the area of ΔXYZ and ΔABC = (Ratio of the sides of ΔXYZ and ΔABC)²

\frac{\text{Area of triangle XYZ}}{\text{Area of triangle ABC}}=(\frac{\text{Side length of XYZ}}{\text{Side length of triangle ABC}})^2

\frac{\text{Area of triangle XYZ}}{n}=(r)^2

Area of ΔXYZ = nr² ≈ n(r * r)

Therefore, Option (3) will be the answer.
