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.

An element with mass 780 grams decays by 16.3% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 16 minutes, to the nearest
vitfil [10]
Exponential decay is a very common process especially when we are talking about radioactive materials. So, there is already a common formula for this type of behavior which is written below:

A = Pe^-rt
where
A is the amount left after time t
P is the initial amount at t=0
r is the rate

Substituting the values,
A = (780 g)(e^-0.163*16)
A = 57.5 g

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Total cost=$142

cost of parts=$62

cost paid for labour=$142-$62=$80

According to question,

》cost of labour per hr=$32

which can be written as,

》cost of labour/time=$32

Use cross multiplication,

》time=cost of labour/32

Since cost of labour is 80,

Time=80/32

=2.5hrs
