S=speed of the boat
C=current
Speed upstream = (s-c)
Speed downstream = (s+c)
Distance=time*speed
3(s+c)=72
s+c=24
6(s-c)=60
s-c=10

Use the elimination process to solve the system of equations
s+c=24; s-c=10
2s=34
s=17 mph boat speed

Find the current:
s+c=24
17+c=24
c=24-17
c=7

Check your solutions: 3(s+c)=72 and 6(s-c)=60
3(24)=72
6(10)=60

Manny and Susan have an egg carton full of eggs to use for their science project.
scoray [572]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/2 is a simple addition fraction problem.

You'd find the LCM (lowest common denominator) which is 6. First, we'll take 1/3 which the denominator becomes 6. You see one side has been basically multiplied by 2, so you'd do it to both sides, giving us 2/6. Next, we do the same thing with 1/2. 2 -> 6 1 -> 3. 3/6. So finally, we have 3/6 + 2/6, which is 5/6.
