were 1716 no votes, what was the total number of votes?

The answer would be 13,728 because you have to multiply 1716 by 3 and multiply 1716 by 4 and add them, then add 1716 and get 13,728.

Gianna is making two different salads. One calls for 3 3/4 cups chopped spinach. The other calls for 2 2/3 cups chopped spinach.

<h2> The answer is very simple add the whole numbers then find the LCM of 3 and 4 which is 12 then multiply 3/4 by 3 which will be 9/12 then multiply 2/3 by 4 which will be 9/12 then we add 9/12 + 8/12 which will equal to 5 17/12 which we can reduce and answer will be 6 5/12 spinach.</h2>

6W=66

W=66/6

W=11 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.

L=2*11-4

L=22-4

L=18 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.

In his boat, Sheldon can travel 45 mi downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 9 mi upstream. If the rate of the curr

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

9 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

-let x be the speed of current and t be time. The speed equation for both directions can then be represented as:

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\\#Upstream\\(u-6)t=9\\\\\#Donwstream\\\\(u+6)t=45$

#Since t is equal in both, we can do away with t.

#We the divide the downstream equation by the upstream equation as:

$\frac{u+6}{u-6}=\frac{45}{9}\\\\(u+6)=5(u-6)\\\\u+6=5u-30\\\\4u=36\\\\u=9$

Hence, the boat's speed in still water is 9 mph
