Answer: There are 120 boats in the marina.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that there are N boats

We know that 5/6 of them are white, then we have: (5/6)*N white boats.

The remaining is: N - (5/6)*N = (1/6)*N

We know that 2/5 of the remaining are blue, then we have:

(2/5)*(1/6)*N blue boats

And the rest are red, the rest is:

(1/6)*N - (2/5)*(1/6)*N = (3/5)*(1/6)*N

Then we have (3/5)*(1/6)*N red boats.

And we know that there are 12 red boats, then:

(3/5)*(1/6)*N = 12

Now we can solve this for N, which is the total number of boats in the marina.

N = 12*(6)*(5/3) = 120

There are 120 boats in the marina.

olga_2 [115]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the charges that have same sign of charges will repel each other while for the charges that have different charges will attract each other. So, we can say that like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other.

The Coulomb's law of attraction of repulsion states that force between charges is directly proportion to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. Mathematically, it is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Hence, all the given statements are true.
