Speed = Distance / Time
Distance = Speed*Time

For this problem, we should bear in mind that current speed has an impact on the boat speed...

for upstream, the boat goes against the current, and so its speed is

U = V - C

where V is the speed of the boat
C is the current speed

for downstream, it will be:

D = V + C

Convert the problem into mathematical equations:

4D + 3U = 116
3D + 4U = 108

4(V+C) + 3(V-C) = 116
4V + 4C + 3V -3C =116
7V + C = 116

3(V+C) + 4(V-C) = 108
3V + 3C + 4V - 4C = 108
7V - C = 108

Solving the equations:

7V + C = 116
7V - C = 108

14V = 224
V = 16km/hr —-> speed of boat

to get C:
7(16) + C = 116
C = 4km/hr

What are the numbers???
Romashka [77]

Answer:

In: 5, 4, 2, 3, 1, and 10.

Out: 40, 32, 16, 24, 8, and 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step you should do is to take notice of the pairs that have their "in" and "out" both answered.

The second step is to find out what you must multiply the "in" by to get the "out". In this answer, you must multiply the "in" by 8 to get the "out".

The third step is to do the same thing for all of the values until the chart is completely filled with values.

The fourth step is to check your work!

If you have any questions, please let me know!

What is 54 percent as a fraction in simplest form
atroni [7]
54% is 54 out of 100.
There for the numerator is 54 and the denominator is 100.

\frac{54}{100}

Now, both the top and the bottom can be divided by 2. So:

\frac{54~divided~by~2}{100~divided~by~2} = \frac{27}{50}

\frac{27}{50} can't be simplified anymore, therefore, 27/50 is 54% as a fraction.

~Hope this helped :)
