Downstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 2 hours
rate = 12/2 = 6 mph
----------------
Upstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 4 hrs
rate = 12/4 = 3 mph
----
Equations:
Downstream: b + c = 6
Upstream::: b - c = 3
------
Add to get:
2b = 9
b = 4.5 mph (speed of the boat in still water.)
-----
Solve for "c":
b + c = 6
4.5 + c = 6
c = 1.5 mph (speed of the current)
The answer is 1.5 mph
48 ÷ 0.08 = 600
check 600 × 0.08= 48
Answer:x=9

Answer:
The probability that Scott will wash is 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let the events be: P = Purple and G = Green


Required
The probability of Scott washing the dishes
If Scott washes the dishes, then it means he picks two spoons of the same color handle.
So, we have to calculate the probability of picking the same handle. i.e.

This gives:










<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>
So, we have:
