ent), and then back up (against the current), a river that's moving at a rate of 1 mile per hour, so the current affects his rate of speed. If it takes Marco 6 total hours to go x miles downstream and then return to his starting point, how far downstream does he travel?

Answer:

S = v1 t1 = 7 t1    traveling downstream

S = v2 t2 = 5 t2    traveling upstream

7 t1 = 5 t2

7 (6 - t2) = 5 t2     since t1 + t2 = 6

42 - 7 t2 = 5 t2

t2 = 42 / 12 = 3.5 hrs so t1 = 2.5 hrs

S = 7 t1 = 7 * 2.5 = 17.5 mi

Also, S = 5 t2 = 5 * 3.5 = 17.5 mi

Coach Chapman has 54 students signed up for a jump rope competition. He only has 18 jump ropes. What is the ratio of jump ropes
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking what the ratio of jump ropes to students is.

The order of the question matters.

Since they ask for the jump ropes first and then the students, we

get a ratio of 18:54.

Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

The GCF is 18.

Divide 18:54 by 18.

18/18=1

54/18=3

The answer is 1:3.
