Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.
The speed of the current is 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that
x - y = 16 (equation 1)
Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that
x + y = 20 (equation 2)
Adding both equations, it becomes
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18 mph
Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes
18 - y = 16
y = 18 - 16
y = 2 mph

Answer:
<em>The difference is 30 hours</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
Safie can write a minimum of 5 questions per hour and a maximum of 11 questions per hour.
To write 275 she takes a maximum of 275/5=55 hours and a minimum of 275/11=25 hours.
The difference is 55 hours - 25 hours = 30 hours
Answer:9
Step-by-step explanation: im not really sure I kinda just guess and check, so like, 2/3 times 3 is 6/3 which is 2. so 6/2 is 3. 3 times 3 is nine.

Answer:
- Keiko: 17
- Chang: 24
- Abdul: 68
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of messages sent by Chang. Then Keiko sent (c-7) messages, and Abdul sent 4(c-7) messages. The total number sent was ...
c + (c -7) +4(c -7) = 109
6c -35 = 109 . . . . . . . . . . simplify
6c = 144 . . . . . . . . . . . add 35
c = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
c-7 = 17
4(c-7) = 68
Keiko sent 17, Chang sent 24, and Abdul sent 68 text messages.
