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

Sara is mixing together a fruit punch for a party. She's made 4 gallons of punch with a mixture of 50% juice. Her mother tells h
Nata [24]
\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount(gallons)&juice&\textit{juice amount}\\
&--------&-----&-----\\
\textit{50\% punch}&4&0.50&(4)(0.50)\\
\textit{pure juice}&x&1.00&(x)(1.00)\\
-----&-----&-----&-----\\
mixture&4+x&0.60&(4+x)(0.60)
\end{array}

notice, that, pure juice is 100% juice, dohhh, thus 100/100 = 1.00
50% is 50/100 or 0.50 in decimal format

so..... whatever those two quantities amount to, that is, the 50% and pure juice, or (4)(0.50) + (x)(1.00)
they will equal the mixture desired 60% juice, or 0.60, namely (4+x)(0.60)

thus    (4)(0.50) + (x)(1.00) = (4+x)(0.60)

solve for "x"
