<u>Answer:</u>

Rate of  river current is = 3 mph

<u>Explanation: </u>

Given speed of boat in still water is equal to 12mph

We know speed = distance divided by time

Given distance travelled upstream = 6 miles and

that  distance travelled downstream = 10 miles

Let x = rate of river current

and t = time taken to travel 6miles upstream as well as to travel 10 miles downstream

We know, speed downstream = speed of current + speed of boat = x + 12

Speed upstream = speed of current - speed of boat = x - 12

speed downstream = 10 divided by t and speed upstream = 6 divided by t  

so the two equations are -  

\frac{10}{t}=\mathrm{x}+12

and \frac{6}{t}=x-12

dividing the two equations we get  \frac{10}{6}=\frac{(x+12)}{(x-12)}

10 \times(\mathrm{x}-12)=6 \times(\mathrm{x}+12)

solving for x we get x = 3mph  is the rate of river current.

I got 16.8 , but she’ll need roughly 17 gallons of paint :)

how i did it :

1. so you know she’ll need 4/5 per book case, and there are 16 bookcases.
2. So you do 16 x 5, then you get 84
3. and you divide 84 by 5. and you’ll get 16.8, that’s how many gallons of paint she needs

Mr. Autry bought a hat for $99.90. He also bought a pair of boots for $89.90. What was the total cost of the hat and boots inclu
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$204.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add both item cost

99.90 + 89.90 = 189.80

Step 2: Find the sales tax of the result

\frac{8}{100}\times 189.8 = 15.184

  • Step 1: Convert 8% to fraction
  • 8\%= \frac{8}{100}
  • Simplify
  • \frac{8}{100} = \frac{2}{25}
  • Step 2: Convert 189.80 to a fraction
  • 189.80 = \frac{189.8}{1}
  • Step 3: Set it up
  • \frac{2}{25}\times \frac{189.8}{1}
  • Step 4: Cross divide
  • 189.80 \div 25 = 7.592\\2 \div 1 = 2
  • Step 5: Multiply the result
  • 7.592 \times 2 = 15.184

Step 3: Add the result from the total cost of both items

189.80 + 15.184 = 204.98

The total cost of the hats and boots including sales tax is 204.98 dollars
