Answer: the speed of the current is 8 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let represent the speed of the current
boat can travel 23mph in still water. This means that the total speed with which the boat travelled is (23 + x) mph.
Time = distance/speed
If it travels 248 miles with the current, it means that the time it took the boat to travel with the current is
248/(23 + x)
in the same length of time it travels 120 miles against the current. This means that the total speed with which the boat travelled is (23 - x) mph. The time it took the boat to travel against the current is
120/(23 - x)
Since the time is the same, it means that
248/(23 + x) = 120/(23 - x)
Cross multiplying, it becomes
248(23 - x) = 120(23 + x)
5704 - 248x = 2760 + 120x
120x + 248x = 5704 - 2760
368x = 2944
x = 2944/368
x = 8 mph
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The two siblings will have saved the same amount towards their mother's gift after 3 weeks.
Amount saved by Wyatt = 
Amount saved by Wyatt's sister = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
(in weeks) denotes the time period by which the two siblings will have saved the same amount towards their mother's gift.
Wyatt already has $20 saved and plans to save $7 per week from his allowance.
Amount saved by Wyatt = 
Wyatt's sister has $14 saved so far and will save $9 per week from hers.
Amount saved by Wyatt's sister = 
To find the time period by which the two siblings will have saved the same amount towards their mother's gift,
solve the following equation.

So, the two siblings will have saved the same amount towards their mother's gift after 3 weeks.
Amount saved by Wyatt = 
Amount saved by Wyatt's sister =
