Answer:
2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
time = distance / speed
Let c represent the rate of the current. Then the upstream rate of the boat relative to the shore is (5c -c) = 4c, and the <em>upstream time</em> is ...
... 12/(4c) = 3/c.
Likewise, the downstream rate is (5c +c) = 6c, and the <em>downstream time</em> is ...
... 12/(6c) = 2/c.
The <em>total time</em> is the sum of upstream and downstream times:
... 3/c +2/c = 2.5
... 5/c = 2.5 . . . . . . combine terms
... 5/2.5 = c = 2 . . . multiply by c/2.5

Answer:
416.7pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Weight of the small box = 125pounds
Unknown:
Weight of the larger box = ?
Solution:
The large box weighs 
times as the small box:
So;
= 125pounds x 
= 416.7pounds
Answer:
y = 2/3x +6 for x< -3
y = 2/3x +1 for x> 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is a line for x < -3
( - 6,2) and ( -3,4)
The slope is m= ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = ( 4-2)/(-3 - -6) = 2/ ( -3+6) = 2/3
The slope is 2/3
Using point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1) and the point ( -6,2)
y -2 = 2/3(x - -6)
y -2 = 2/3(x +6)
y-2 = 2/3 x +4
y = 2/3x +6 x< -3
The graph is a line for x > 3
(3,3) and ( 6,5)
The slope is m= ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = ( 5-3)/(6-3) = 2/ (3) = 2/3
The slope is 2/3
Using point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1) and the point (6,5)
y -5 = 2/3(x - 6)
y-5 = 2/3 x -4
y = 2/3x +1 x> 3
