Answer:

  • boat: 48 km/h
  • current: 14 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The upstream speed is ...

  u = (204 km)/(6 h) = 34 km/h

The downstream speed is ...

  d = (372 km)/(6 h) = 62 km/h

The speed of the boat in still water is the average of these values:

  b = (34 kph +62 kph)/2 = 48 kph

The speed of the water is the difference between the boat's speed and the speed made good:

  w = 48 -34 = 14 . . . km/h

The rate of the boat in still water is 48 km/h. The rate of the current is 14 km/h.

A fast food restaurant sells two sizes of fries, small and large. On Friday they sold 24 fries
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

5:1

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that 20 fries were large, and 4 were small. So, we just set it up as 20:4 <em>(for every 20 large fries, there are 4 small ones)</em>. However, it needs to be simplified which results in 5:1.

Hope I helped!!
