Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

So in this case you just cross multiply

8 : 12 = 6 : a

6(12) = 8(a)

72 = 8a

Divide both sides by 8

a = 9

A small boat can travel at 28 per hour how many hours will it take to go across the bay that is 56 miles wide

dsp73

Answer:

2 hours

Remember that time = distance/rate

The distance you need to cover is 56 miles, while you go 28 miles per hour. Using these, we get this:

time=56/28

time=2

So it will take two hours to go across a 56 mile wide bay at 28 mph.
