Speed, S = Distance (d) / Time (t) => S= d/t => t= d/S
Let the speed of boat in still water be x mph
Resulting speed upstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 30 miles
Resulting speed downstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 50 miles
Time taken in both distances is equal.
Therefore,
30/(x-4) = 50/(x+4) => 30(x+4) = 50(x-4) => 30x+120 = 50x-200 => 120+200 = (50-30)x => 20x = 320 => x=320/20 = 16 mph
The speed of boat in still water is 16 mph.

Answer:
6394
Step-by-step explanation:
WXYZ
X < Z
Z = ⅔W
W = ⅔Y
Y = 3X
W = ⅔(3X) = 2X
Z = ⅔(2X) = (4/3)X
X has to be a multiple of 3
If X = 3,
Y = 9
Z = 4
W = 6

Suppose:
C=cost
c=cost per kilo-watt hour
w=number of watts
h=number of hours
thus
C=kwhc
where:
k=constant of proportionality:
k=C/(whc)
but
C=15 when w=6000, h=10/60=1/6 hours, c=7.5 cents per kw/h
thus
k=15/(6000*1/6*7.5)
k=0.002
thus:
C=0.002(whc)
hence:
when
h=70*2=140=140/6=70/3 hours the cost will be:
C=0.002(6000*70/3*7.5)
C=2100 cents
C=$21
44x10^-2
or in other words
44 times 10 to the -2nd power
