Answer:

rate of the current = 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

d = rt

Let c = rate of the current

Rate going downstream = c + 40

Time going downstream = 126/(40 + c)

Rate going up stream =  40 - c

Time going upstream = 114/(40 - c)

Since the times are equal, then

126/(40 + c) = 114/(40 - c)

126(40 - c) = 114(40 + c)

5040 - 126c = 4560 + 114c

   240c  =  480

          c = 2 mph

When e = 4, f = 2, and g = 8If e varies jointly with f and g, what is the constant of variation?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

e=\frac{1}{4} fg

Step-by-step explanation:

Joint variation problem  solve using the equation y = kxz.

e ∝ fg

e=kfg

now substitute the values

4=k*2*8\\4=16k\\k=\frac{4}{16} \\k=\frac{1}{4}

The relationship will be:

e=kfg\\e=\frac{1}{4} fg

joja [24]
121 rounded to the nearest 100 is 100 because 121 is closer to 100 than 200.
252 rounded to the nearest hundred is 300 because 252 is closer to 300 than 100.
