Answer:
The answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
240,000 = 60%
x = 100%
=
Let x represent the speed of of boat.
We have been given that the river current is 3 miles per hour.
The speed of boat upstream will be .
The speed of boat downstream would be .
We have been given that you travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to a dock.
We can represent this information in an equation as:
Since the speed of the boat is 18 miles per hour, so we will substitute in above equation and solve for time.
Since time is in hours, so let us convert our given time in minutes.
1 hour = 60 minutes.
Rounding to nearest tenth of minute.
Therefore, it will take approximately 17.7 minutes for the boat to take the trip.

I think you need brackets to clarify what you mean. I think it should be written as
10b/(2b + 8)
If that is the case the reciprocal is
(2b + 8)/10b You just turn everything up side down. There are technical ways of doing this, but the easiest way is just to do what I just did.
Put the numerator in the denominator,
Put the denominator in the numerator.
You could simplify this a bit.
2b/10b + 8/10b
which reduces further.
1/5 + 4/5b
Just to make sure you understand where that b is, I will do this in
Latex.
Alternate answer
If you do mean what your wrote then the reciprocal is 2b / 10b + 8 which is 1/5 + 8 = 8 + 0.2 = 8.2
The 8 has nothing to do with the reciprocal under these conditions.

I have given you all the choices I can think of without going into decimals. If you have choices, please list them under the comments.
