Answer:
40 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 x 60 = 40
Let the boat speed in still water be b.
Let the current speed be c.
The speed going upstream is 20/4 = 5 mph.
The speed going downstream is 32/4 = 8 mph.
b - c = 5 ........(1)
b + c = 8 .......(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2) we get:
2b = 13
b = 13/2 = 6.5
Plugging in the value for b into equation (1) we find c = 1.5.
The boat speed in still water is 6.5 mph and the current speed is 1.5 mph.
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the answers correct because, If they give us pactricia's age and it's 23, then we have to subtracct 7 and divide by 4. First of all 23 minuts 7 equals 16, then we divide 16 by 4 and that equals 4 and you got your answer.

Answer:
11 hours she worked at the grocery store
Step-by-step explanation:
assuming,
the number of hours worked at tutoring = x
the number of hours worked at grocery store = y
which means,
the amount she made at tutoring = x* $15
the amount she made at grocery store = y*$9
we have 2 equations
<em>total number of hours</em>
1) x+y= 15
<em>total amount she earned</em>
2) x* $15+ y* $9= $159
From equation 1
x+y= 15
x=15-y
<em>we replace this x value in equation 2</em>
x* $15+ y* $9= $159
(15-y)* $15+ y* $9= $159
(15*15)- 15y+9y=159
225-6y=159
225-159=6y
66=6y
66/6=y
<u>11=y</u> <em>the number of hours she worked at grocery store. </em>
<em>we place y=11 in our derived x equation</em>
x=15-y
x=15-11
<u><em>x=4 </em></u><em>the number of hours she worked at tutoring. </em>
