Answer:
C. 3 1/2 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
I just converted the fractions to decimal form.
5/8 = 0.625 9 + 0.625 = 9.625
3/4 = 0.75 2 + 0.75 = 2.75
Now divide the 2 numbers:
9.625 / 2.75 = 3.5
Finally, convert the decimal back to a fraction:
3.5 = 3 1/2
Hope this helps!
We calculate both velocities:
upstream 8 miles in 2 hours = 4 miles / hour
downstream 8 miles in 1 hour = 8 miles / hour
ps -stream speed = 4 mph
ps + stream speed = 8 mph
Adding both equations
2 ps = 12 mph
paddling speed = 6 mph
stream speed = 2 mph
Your question is a bit confusing, but the answer (as in the question is -32.76/-3.6) is 9.1.
Hope that helps!
