Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.
The speed of the current is 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that
x - y = 16 (equation 1)
Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that
x + y = 20 (equation 2)
Adding both equations, it becomes
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18 mph
Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes
18 - y = 16
y = 18 - 16
y = 2 mph
Answer: The answer is B, 6 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
6+5= 11
1/2+1/2= 1
11+1= 12
12-3=9
An equality of two rations is called a porportion
Answer:
robability formula is the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes. Measures the likelihood of an event in the following way: - If P(A) > P(B) then event A is more likely to occur than event B. - If P(A) = P(B) then events A and B are equally likely to occur.
