Answer:

If I am understanding your question, the total upstream is 8 miles and another 8 miles downstream.

Let s = the speed of the boat in still water

d = rt

8 = 5(s + 3)  downstream

8 = 5s + 15  equation 1

8 = 5(s - 3)   upstream

8 = 5s - 15    Add equation 1

8 = 5s + 15 

16 = 10s    Divide both sides by 10.

s = 16/10 = 8/5 = 1.6 mph

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

\dfrac{2}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a box contains 2 dozen pairs of contact lenses ,of which 8 pairs are tinted.

1 dozen = 12 units

Total pairs of contact lenses =2\times 12 = 24

Tinted pairs of contact lenses = 8

Pairs of contact lenses not tinted = 24 - 8 = 16

If a pair of contact lenses is drawn at random from the box, then we need to find the probability that it is not tinted.

P(\text{Not tinted})=\dfrac{\text{Pairs of contact lenses not tinted}}{\text{Total pairs of contact lenses}}

P(\text{Not tinted})=\dfrac{16}{24}

P(\text{Not tinted})=\dfrac{2}{3}

Therefore, the required probability is \dfrac{2}{3}.
