Dup= 72 miles 
<span>ddown= 120 miles </span>
<span>v= riverspeed </span>
<span>rup= 32mph - v </span>
<span>rdown= 32mph + v </span>
<span>t both ways= t </span>

<span>d=r*t </span>
<span>d/r=t </span>

<span>t=ddown/rdown </span>
<span>t=dup/rup </span>

<span>dup/rup = ddown/rdown </span>

<span>(72)/(32-v)=(120)/(32+v) </span>
<span>3840-120v=2304+72v </span>
<span>1536=192v </span>
<span>v=8</span>

Simplify fully<br> 2√3 x 3√8​
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: 12√6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

2√3 * 3√√8

= (2*3) * (√3*√8)

= 6 * (√24)

= 6 * √4*6

= 6 * (2√6)

= (6*2)√6

= 12√6

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is 12√6.

A husband and wife have normal vision, although both of the couple's fathers are red–green color-blind, an inherited X-linked re
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the recessive gene is carried in the x chromosome and a father can only pass it to a daughter, the father doesn't have the disease nor carries it.

The mother carries the recessive gene because her father passed her his conditioned gene (only having one x chromosome), while her mother gave her a normal one so she can have normal vision.  

The chance of having a boy or a girl is 1/2 and the chance of this baby of having both recessive gene is null because in order to have a girl that is color blind both her x chromosomes must have the recessive gene, but the father can't pass it since he doesn't carries it. Therefore the combined probability is 1/2*(1-0) = 1/2.
