Downstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 2 hours
rate = 12/2 = 6 mph
----------------
Upstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 4 hrs
rate = 12/4 = 3 mph
----
Equations:
Downstream: b + c = 6
Upstream::: b - c = 3
------
Add to get:
2b = 9
b = 4.5 mph (speed of the boat in still water.)
-----
Solve for "c":
b + c = 6
4.5 + c = 6
c = 1.5 mph (speed of the current)
The answer is 1.5 mph
Ratio being 3:5:7
longest being 56 so
7x=56
x=8
multiply the other lengths by 8
3*8=24
5*8=40
making the final
24:40:56
Answer:
38
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-7=3x+ll
5x=3x+18
2x/2=18/2
x =9
5 x 9 -7 = 36
3 x 9 + 11=36
m D =36
