We can set up a proportion since we know the ratio between the # of purple marbles and the # of green marbles.
A ratio is a way to compare two different values: for every 8 purple marbles there are 5 green marbles
<h2>

</h2><h2 /><h2>when we cross multiply, we get 5p = 240 </h2><h2>we divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable </h2><h2 /><h3><u>There are 48 purple marbles </u></h3>
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
now, if the boat has a speed of say "b", and the current has a speed of say "c", when the boat is going upstream, is not really going "b" fast, is going " b - c " fast, because the current is eroding speed from it, going upwards.
And when the boat is going downstream, is not going "b" fast either, because the current is now adding to speed to it, so is really going " b + c " fast.
The time it took one way, is the same time it took back, 4 hours each way.
thus

what's the speed of the boat? well, 5 + c = b.
Multiply every number from the small octagon by 7 then add the products to get 238.
Answer:
