Answer:
where is x ..... show that first
Let the speed of the boat be x
so going against the current the speed is x-7
going with the current the speed is x+7
let the distance be d
time = distance / speed
time to go against the current = d/(x-7)
time to go with the current = d/(x+7)
time going against the current is 3 times going <span>with the current
</span>
d/(x-7) = 3d/(x+7)
⇒⇒⇒ divide by d
1/(x-7)
= 3/(x+7)
x+7
= 3(x-7)
x+7 = 3x - 21
2x = 28
x = 14
So, the speed of the boat in still water is = 14 mph
Find area of room
aera=legnth wtimes width
in a square, legnth=width
aera=legnth^2
legnth=14 feet
convert o inches
14*12=168 inches
area=168^2=28224 square inches
how many tiles will cover all of floor?
aka
how many 192 in^2 is at least 28224 (at least, because we need to cover the whole floor without gaps)
192x<u>></u>28224
divide both sides by 192
x<u>></u>147
147 is the number of tiles we need
False, it's the other way around: you divide the numerator by the denominator.
For example, to evaluate 
you divide 8 by 15:
