Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

If B is the rate of the boat, and C is the rate of the current, then we can write two equations:

18 = (B + C) × 3

18 = (B − C) × 9

Simplifying the equations:

6 = B + C

2 = B − C

Add the equations together to eliminate C:

8 = 2B

B = 4

Plug into either equation to find C:

C = 2

The boat's rate is 4 mph, and the current's rate is 2 mph.

Priya measured the length of lizard to be 11 cm. The actual length is 12 cm. Find the % error.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

8.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for percent error:

|\frac{observed value - expected value}{expected value} | * 100%

Using this formula, we get:

|\frac{11-12}{12} |* 100 = \frac{100}{12} = 8.33
