Speed of the boat = u
speed of the current = v

in downstream,
u - v = 105/5
u - v = 21

in upstream
u + v = 105/7
u + v = 15

add both equations
2u = 36
u = 18

v = -3

so
speed of the boat = 18 km/h
speed of the current = 3 km/h

Lance bought 12 quarts of lemonade so that everyone who came to his party could have exactly 1/3 quart. How many people did Lanc
igor_vitrenko [27]

Lance invited 36 people to his party.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that,

  • Lance bought 12 quarts of lemonade.
  • Everyone who came to his party could have exactly 1/3 quart.

We know that,

The total quarts of lemonade available for the party = 12

Each person in the party consumes = 1/3 quart.

We need to find out how many people did Lance invited to his party.

<u>To find the number of people :</u>

Let us consider 'x' be the number of people invited to the party.

Total lemonade = number of people × lemonade for each person.

⇒ 12 = x × 1/3

⇒ 12×3 = x

⇒ x = 36 people

Therefore, Lance invited 36 people to his party.

NemiM [27]
= a^21b^24c^10 
use the product rules for each set of () then multiply them together. when multiplying variables with exponents you just add them together like for a^3 * a^5 = a^8.     (a^3 b^12 c^2)^2 = (a^6 b^24 c^4)
