Answer:

  4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed downstream is (28 mi)/(2 h) = 14 mph.

The speed upstream is (18 mi)/(3 h) = 6 mph.

The speed of the current is half the difference of these:

  (14 mph -6 mph)/2 = 4 mph

_____

The current adds to the downstream speed and subtracts from the upstream speed, so the difference of those speeds is twice the current's speed.

Emma has 7 pens in a box. 5 of the pens are blue. 2 of the pens are red. emma takes at random a pen from the box and writes down
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

There is no question stated.  If one assume the question is "Does the probability of picking the same color pen change after the first try?," the answer is "No."

Step-by-step explanation:

When the pen is replaced, the probability reverts back to the original value:

There are 7 pens:

5 Blue

2 Red

The probability of picking a red or blue pen on the first try is:

Red = 2/7

Blue = 5/7

When the pen is replaced, the probabilities  return to the original values.
