speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

Answer:

let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.

speed down the river is:

speed=distance/time

speed=14/2=7 mi/h

speed up the river is:

speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr

thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:

x+y=7...i

x-y=4.......ii

adding the above equations i and ii we get:

2x=11

x=5.5 mi/hr

thus

y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r

thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr

speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

Elena-2011 [213]

Camille spent 22 minutes and 30 seconds opening presents.

Since Camille had a very fun birthday party with lots of friends and family attending, and the party lasted for 3 hours, and she and her friends played games for 3/8 of the time, ate pizza and cake for 50% of the time , and spent the remainder of the time opening presents, to determine the amount of time spent opening presents the following calculation must be performed, posing the following linear equation:

Total time - time spent on other activities = time spent opening presents

  • 3 - (3 x 3/8) - (3 x 0.5) = X
  • 3 - 1.125 - 1.5 = X
  • 3 - 2.625 = X
  • 0.375 = X

  • 1 = 60
  • 0.375 = X
  • 0.375 x 60 = X
  • 22.5 = X

Therefore, Camille spent 22 minutes and 30 seconds opening presents.
