The multiplication fact that could help you find the number of crates:
7 x 6 = 42
The speed upstream is the difference between the boat speed and the current speed. It is (12 mi)/(4 h) = 3 mph.
The speed downstream is the sum of the boat speed and the current speed. It is (32 mph)/(4 h) = 8 mph.
The speed of the boat is the average of these: (3 + 8)/2 = 5.5 mph.
The speed of the current is that less the difference: 5.5 - 3 = 2.5 mph.
_____
<u>Check</u>
Boat + Current = 5.5 + 2.5 = 8 mph
Boat - Current = 5.5 - 2.5 = 3 mph
Yes, indeed it does equal a whole number. 45/5 equals 9, which is a whole number. Whole numbers are numbers that you count up from and including 0 (0,1,2,3,4,5,6...)
You get 9 because 45/5 is the same as 45 divided by 5 which is 9.

Answer:
The answer is 1 5/12 or 17/12.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we turn 5 2/3 into a Improper fraction.
5 2/3 = 17/3
Next we change 4 to 1/4 then multiply 1/4 by 17/3.
17/3 * 1/4 = 17/12
17/12 = 1 5/12
Hope this helps! :)
