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

Amanda created a table to help her represent the sample space of spinning a spinner and flipping a coin.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

\sf \dfrac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Spinner choices:  Red, Green, Yellow, Blue

Coin choices: Heads, Tails

\large\begin{array}{| c | c | c | c | c |}\cline{1-5} & \sf Red & \sf Green & \sf Yellow & \sf Blue\\\cline{1-5} \sf Heads & RH & GH &YH & BH \\\cline{1-5} \sf Tails &RT & GT& YT& BT\\\cline{1-5}\end{array}

\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}

\implies \sf P(blue)=\dfrac{1}{4}

\implies \sf P(heads)=\dfrac{1}{2}

\implies \sf P(blue)\:and\:P(heads)=\dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{8}
