Answer:

a) 15-t mph;

b) 15+t mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When the boat travels upstream, the current hinders the boat (the speed of the boat decreases). Thus, the speed of the boat upstream becomes

15-t mph.

b) When the boat travels downstream, the current helps the boat (the speed of the boat increases). Thus, the speed of the boat downstream becomes

15+t mph.

5. Use the rules for long division to divide 262 by 9. A. 29r1 B. 28 C. 30 D. 29

vfiekz [6]

Since $270=262+8$ , and $\dfrac{270}9=30$ , we have

$\dfrac{270}9=\dfrac{262}9+\dfrac89$
$\implies30-\dfrac89=\dfrac{262}9$
$\implies29+\dfrac19=\dfrac{262}9$

so the answer is A.
