Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
b = speed rate of the boat.
c = speed rate of the current.
keeping in mind that, as the boat goes Upstream, against the current, it's speed is not "b", but is really " b - c ", because the current is subtracting speed from it.
likewise, when the boat is going Downstream, because is going with the current, is really going faster at " b + c ".
what is the speed of the boat? well, 61 + c = b.
It’s a great way to write numbers that are very big numbers or very small numbers.
Have a great day!
If Keith is represented by x, and Joe is three less than Keith, Troy is represented by x-3.
Then, we know that Joe exercises for twice the amount of time as Troy, we multiply the expression for Joe by two.
Keith = x
Troy = x-3
Joe = 2(x-3)
Answer: second step.
Step-by-step explanation:
you then have to distribute the answer not subtract 9 1/4 from 1.5
you have to do the parenthesis next
4.5/0.5=45/5=9
then
1.5*9= 13.5
then
9.25-13.5 which I think you are capable of solving
