Answer:

2.1429 or 2 and 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Time = time

12/(15+c)=9/(15-c)

12(15-c)=9(15+c)

12*15-12c =9*15+9c

21c=3*15

c=3*15/21

c=45/21=2.1429..(speed of the current)

Downstream info;

distance=12miles;rate=15+c mph; time=d/r =12/(15+c)hrs.

Upstream info;

distance=9miles;rate=15-c mph;time=d/r=9/(15-c)hrs.

I hope it's helpful!

How much will 27 copies cost if it cost $4.50 to make 150 copies?<br><br>use cross multiplication
Mamont248 [21]
Hey there!

To start, first set up a proportion where x is the cost to make 27 copies:
27/x=150/4.50

Now, solve for x by cross multiplying which should look like this:
27*4.50=x*150

Now simplify and solve for x:
121.5=150x
x=0.81

Therefore, it costs $0.81 to make 27 copies.

Hope this helps!
