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.

Take a factor out of the square root:
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take √72:

Factoring 72 to find perfect squares:

72 = 2*2*2*3*3

The largest perfect square in the above = 2*2*3*3 = 36.

So we can write 72 as 36*2.

√72 = √(36 * 2)

√36 * √2

= 6√2.

One more example:

√18  = √(2*3*3)

= √9*√2

= 3√2.

Answer:

12.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how to round 12.36 to the nearest whole number. In other words, this is how to round 12.36 to the nearest integer.

12.36 has two parts. The integer part to the left of the decimal point and the fractional part to the right of the decimal point:

Integer Part: 12

Fractional Part: 36

Our goal is to round it so we only have an integer part using the following rules:

If the first digit in the fractional part of 12.36 is less than 5 then we simply remove the fractional part to get the answer.

If the first digit in the fractional part of 12.36 is 5 or above, then we add 1 to the integer part and remove the fractional part to get the answer.

The first digit in the fractional part is 3 and 3 is less than 5. Therefore, we simply remove the fractional part to get 12.36 rounded to the nearest whole number as:

12
