Answer: 17/18
Step-by-step explanation: You have to find the least common denominator first, since 1/9 and 5/6 have different denominators. The least common denominator is 18. Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal to the least common denominator.
The equation then becomes 2/18 + 15/18 which equals 17/18 ^-^
Answer:
Rate in still water = 27.5 mph
Current's rate = 12.5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x mph = row team rate in still water
y mph = current's rate
<u>Upstream:</u>
Distance = 30 miles
Time = 2 hours
Rate = x - y mph
Then

<u>Downstream:</u>
Distance = 30 miles
Time = 45 minutes
hour
Rate = x + y mph
Then

From the first equation:

From the second equation:

Add these two equations:

Subtract these two equations:

Answer:
The answer is 36 meters long.
