Let speed of the boat in still water = x miles per hour
Let speed of the current = y miles per hour
When water and current both flow in same direction then effective speed will be sum of both speeds that is (x+y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x+y)=160/8
or x+y=20...(i)
When water and current both flow in opposite direction then effective speed will be difference of both speeds that is (x-y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x-y)=160/40
or x-y=4
or x=4+y...(ii)
plug value of x into (i)
4+y+y=20
4+2y=20
2y=16
y=8
plug value of y into (ii)
x=4+8=12
Hence final answer is given by:
Speed of the boat in still water = 12 miles per hour
Speed of the current = 8 miles per hour
Spinning on Y out of three letters (G, I and Y) = 1/3
then either an easy or hard = 1/2
so
The probability that the spinner will stop on the letter Y and then easy
= 1/3 x 1/2
= 1/6
= 0.17
answer:
0.17

Answer:
hi
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$150
Step-by-step explanation:
First use a proportion to find the answer:
40/100=60/x
Now we solve for x
60*100=6,000
6,000 divided by 40= 150
x=150
Therefore the answer is $150
