85/15 is 5 2/3

so, to find 85% with 15%, you would multiply 12 (also 15%) by 5 2/3.

12*5 2/3=68.

you could also find it using the 1% method:

1% of 15 is .15.
.15*85=68.

Hope this helps!

The speed of a boat in still water is 40 mph. If it takes the same time for the boat to travel 8 miles upstream as it does to tr
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Current speed is 40mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We firstly need to know what is intended by upstream and downstream. When the boat travels in the direction of the current (horizontal movement of the water), we say it is moving downstream otherwise it is moving upstream.

Let's assume the speed of the boat is A and that of the current is B, then the speed when it moves dowstream would be A + B and the speed if it moves upstream would be A – B.

In this question, we know that the speed of the boat is 40mph. Given that it takes the same time to travel 8miles upstream as it does to travel 24miles downstream, we have

Speed upstream = 8/t

Speed downstream = 24/t

Respectively.

Let speed of current be X, then

Speed downstream = 40 + X

Speed upstream = 40 – X

From the question we have:

(40 + x)/24 = (40 – X)/8

(40 + x)/3 = (40 – x)/1

3(40 – x) = 40 + X

120 – 3x = 40 – X

120 – 40 = 3x – X

2x = 80

X = 40.

Therefore, current speed is 40mph

X4y(4) = yx2(13), calculate (x+y)2
Delicious77 [7]

Please, for clarity, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:


Correct format: x^4*y*(4) = y*x^2*(13)

This is an educated guess regarding what you meant to share. Please err on the side of using more parentheses ( ) to show which math operations are to be done first.


Your (x+y)2, better written as (x+y)^2, equals x^2 + 2xy + y^2, when expanded.

The question here is whether you can find this x^2 + 2xy + y^2 in your

"X4y(4) = yx2(13)"


Please lend a hand here. If at all possible obtain an image of the original version of this problem and share it. That's the only way to ensure that your helpers won't have to guess what the problem actually looks like.
