Answer: Aquaman swims at the rate of 140.47m/min

The rate of water drain is 73.81m/min

Step-by-step explanation: Let A be the rate at which Aquaman swims.

Let W be the rate at which the water drains

3(A - W)= 200 ......equation (1)

0.7(A +W)=150 ..... equation (2)

3A -3W = 200 .....equation 3

0.7A + 0.7W = 150 ..eq4

Multiply eq 3 by 7 and eq 4 by -30

21A - 21W = 1400

-21A + 21W = -4500

Subtracting both equation from each other, you get

-42W = -3100

W = 3100/42

W = 73.81m/min

Put 73.81 for W in equation 1

3A - 3(73.81) = 200

3A - 221.43 = 200

A =421.43/3

A= 140.47m/min

Which is one one way to check 102 ÷ 6 = <br>17
sleet_krkn [62]

One way to check if 102 ÷ 6 = 17 is by focusing on the left side of the equation.


102 ÷ 6 can be converted into \frac{102}{6}


\frac{102}{6} can be simplified, lets start by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.

\frac{102/2}{6/2} = \frac{51}{3}

\frac{51/3}{3/3} = \frac{17}{1}

\frac{17}{1} can be rewritten as 17.
