A boat in still water is 32 mph. If the boat travels 72 miles upstream in the same time that it takes to travel 120 miles downst

dalvyx [7]

Dup= 72 miles
ddown= 120 miles 
v= riverspeed 
rup= 32mph - v 
rdown= 32mph + v 
t both ways= t 

d=r*t 
d/r=t 

t=ddown/rdown 
t=dup/rup 

dup/rup = ddown/rdown 

(72)/(32-v)=(120)/(32+v) 
3840-120v=2304+72v 
1536=192v 
v=8

i made a clay snake 9 5/8 inches long, but a section 1 7/8 inches long broke off. how longis the snake now?

Fofino [41]

The answer is 7 3/4.
Turn into improper fraction
= 77/8 − 15/8

= ((77 × 8) − (15 × 8)) / (8 × 8)

= (616 - 120) / 64

= 496/64

= 31/4
