Answer:

1.8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the steamer in still water is 18 mph.

Speed of the current = x mph.

1. The steamer going downstream traveled the distance between two ports in 3 hours. Traveling downstream the current "helps" the steamer, then the speed is 18 + x mph.

The distance traveled downstream = 3(18 + x) miles.

2. The steamer going upstream traveled the distance between two ports in 3 hours 40 minutes that is 3\frac{2}{3} hours. Traveling upstream the current "interferes" the steamer, then the speed is 18 - x mph.

The distance traveled upstream 3\dfrac{2}{3}(18-x) miles.

3. The distances are the same, so

3(18+x)=3\dfrac{2}{3}(18-x)

Solve this equation:

3(18+x)=\dfrac{11}{3}(18-x)\\ \\9(18+x)=11(18-x)\\ \\162+9x=198-11x\\ \\9x+11x=198-162\\ \\20x=36\\ \\x=1.8\ mph

When making a guess and retesting this information, a theory or <u>model</u> may be formed which explains why something has occurred or what it may look like. Models are a representation of a certain situations that has occurred. These models can provide and amplify a clearer perception and comprehension of how and what processes are involved in an occurred phenomenon. And by that said, it can change and be modified depending on which factor catalyzed the alterations. </span>

Scrat [10]

Answer:

4√(xy³)

Step-by-step explanation:

8√(x²y⁶)

The above expression can be simplified as follow:

8√(x²y⁶)

Recall:

m√a = a^1/m

Therefore,

8√(x²y⁶) = (x²y⁶)^1/8

Recall:

(aⁿ)^1/m = a^(n/m)

Therefore,

(x²y⁶)^1/8 = x^(2/8)•y^(6/8)

= x^1/4•y^3/4

= (xy³)^1/4

Recall :

a^1/m = m√a

Therefore,

(xy³)^1/4 = 4√(xy³)

Therefore,

8√(x²y⁶) = 4√(xy³)
