Step-by-step explanation:

72÷9= 8, so the boat was only doing 8mph going upstream (against the current) the return trip downstream only took 4 hours. 72÷18=4 meaning the boat was traveling at 18mph downstream (no current) there is a 10mph difference between upstream and downstream therefore the current had to be running at 10 mph. so the speed of the tug boat is 8mph without a current and the current is running at 10mph.

What is the difference between 1/8 and 1/2?
mixer [17]
One-eighth represents one part of a whole that consists of eight units, but one-twelfth represents one part of a whole that consists of 12 units. Fractions are made up of numerators and denominators. Numerators are the top numbers and denominators are the bottom numbers. The numerator is the number that represents the part of a whole. The denominator is the total number of parts.

The image below shows two dilated figures with lines WX and W'X' drawn. If the larger figure was dilated using a scale factor of
Inga [223]

Answer:

Line W'X' is 4 times longer than line WX.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we dilate a figure by a scale factor, the side length increases by that scale factor. If the length was 1 before the dilation, and the scale factor is 2, the length would be 2 after the dilation because 1*2=2. Assuming that WX and W'X' are sides of the figure because no image was provided, the dilated side should be 4 times longer.
