Let x be the speed of the motorboat and y be the speed of the current.

Then, for downstream, the speed is x + y.

Now, speed = distance/time.

Distance = 80 miles.

Time for downstream = 4 hours.

So, x + y = 80/4 = 20     (1)

Against the current, that is for upstream, the speed is x - y.

Time for upstream = 5 hours.

x - y = 80/5 = 16     (2)

Adding (1) and (2), we get,

2x = 36

x = 18

Hence, rate of the motorboat in calm water = 18 miles/hour.

180 product of a prime factor using indices
zvonat [6]
Start with 180. 
<span>Is 180 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" as one of the prime factors, and then work with the quotient, 90. </span>

<span>Is 90 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" (again) as another prime factor, then work with the quotient, 45. </span>

<span>Is 45 divisible by 2? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 3? Yes, so write "3" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 15 </span>

<span>Is 15 divisible by 3? [Note: no need to revert to "2", because we've already divided out all the 2's] Yes, so write "3" (again) as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 5. </span>

<span>Is 5 divisible by 3? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
Is 5 divisible by 4? No, so try a bigger divisor (actually, we know it can't be divisible by 4 becase it's not divisible by 2)
<span>Is 5 divisible by 5? Yes, so write "5" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 1 </span>

<span>Once you end up with a quotient of "1" you're done. </span>

<span>In this case, you should have written down, "2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5"</span>

Population of England in 2003 = 383 * 130,281 = 49,897,623

In 2008 this is 0.84 * 61,000,000 = 51,240,000

Increase = 51,240,000 - 49,897,623 = 1,342,377

Answer is 1,300,000 to 2 significant figures.

Solve |3x - 4| = 6<br> please help me solve
Radda [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x - 4| = 6

3x-4 = 6 or 3x-4 = -6

3x=6+4 3x=-6+4

3x=10 3x = -2

x= 10/3 x = -2/3

so, x1= 10/3 or x2 = -2/3
