256 are needed because 32x1=32 that means the ratio would be 32:256 because 8 x 32 = 256
The final ratio would stay the same as 1:8 though because it would be simplified.
Hope this helped.
So... hmm bear in mind, when the boat goes upstream, it goes against the stream, so, if the boat has speed rate of say "b", and the stream has a rate of "r", then the speed going up is b - r, the boat's rate minus the streams, because the stream is subtracting speed as it goes up
going downstream is a bit different, the stream speed is "added" to boat's
so the boat is really going faster, is going b + r
notice, the distance is the same, upstream as well as downstream
thus
![\bf \begin{cases} b=\textit{rate of the boat}\\ r=\textit{rate of the river} \end{cases}\qquad thus \\\\\\ \begin{array}{lccclll} &distance&rate&time(hrs)\\ &----&----&----\\ upstream&48&b-r&4\\ downstream&48&b+4&3 \end{array} \\\\\\ \begin{cases} 48=(b-r)(4)\to 48=4b-4r\\\\ \frac{48-4b}{-4}=r\\ --------------\\ 48=(b+r)(3)\\ -----------------------------\\\\ thus\\\\ 48=\left[ b+\left(\boxed{\frac{48-4b}{-4}}\right) \right] (3) \end{cases}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%0Ab%3D%5Ctextit%7Brate%20of%20the%20boat%7D%5C%5C%0Ar%3D%5Ctextit%7Brate%20of%20the%20river%7D%0A%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cqquad%20thus%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%0A%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Blccclll%7D%0A%26distance%26rate%26time%28hrs%29%5C%5C%0A%26----%26----%26----%5C%5C%0Aupstream%2648%26b-r%264%5C%5C%0Adownstream%2648%26b%2B4%263%0A%5Cend%7Barray%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%0A%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%0A48%3D%28b-r%29%284%29%5Cto%2048%3D4b-4r%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Cfrac%7B48-4b%7D%7B-4%7D%3Dr%5C%5C%0A--------------%5C%5C%0A48%3D%28b%2Br%29%283%29%5C%5C%0A-----------------------------%5C%5C%5C%5C%0Athus%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A48%3D%5Cleft%5B%20b%2B%5Cleft%28%5Cboxed%7B%5Cfrac%7B48-4b%7D%7B-4%7D%7D%5Cright%29%20%5Cright%5D%20%283%29%0A%5Cend%7Bcases%7D)
solve for "r", to see what the stream's rate is
what about the boat's? well, just plug the value for "r" on either equation and solve for "b"
13 is less than or equal to 24

Answer:
slope: -11/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is equal to the change in yy over the change in xx, or rise over run.
m=change in ychange in xm=change in ychange in x
The change in xx is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in yy is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).
m=y2−y1x2−x1m=y2-y1x2-x1
Substitute in the values of xx and yy into the equation to find the slope.
m=19−(8)−9−(−2)m=19-(8)-9-(-2)
Simplify.
m=−11/7
Answer: x = -11
Step-By-Step:
We can start by combining like terms on the left side.
-20 - x = 4x - (3x - 2)
Now we need to distribute the negative on the right side.
-20 - x = 4x - 3x + 2
Now combine like terms on the right.
-20 - x = x + 2
Now add 20 to the other side
- x = x + 22
Subtract x from the left side.
-2x = 22
Now divide by -2.
x = -11
