The answer is 3 over 8. One half times two, 2 fourths, times two 4 eighths. 4 eighths plus 1 eighth is 5 eighths. 5/8-8/8 = 3/8
Answer:roll agian
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of current ------ y km/h
<span>distance with the current = 4(x+y) </span>
<span>distance against the current = 5(x-y) </span>
<span>we know that 3.5(x+y) = 70 </span>
<span>x+y = 20 </span>
<span>but 4(x+y) = 4(20) = 80 </span>
<span>then 5(x-y) = 80 </span>
<span>x-y = 16 </span>
<span>x+y=20 </span>
<span>x-y=16 </span>
<span>add them </span>
<span>2x = 36 </span>
<span>x = 18 , then y = 2 </span>
Write two equations with the given information:
1) x = 2y ( x is twice the value of y)
2) x + y = 42
Replace x in the second equation with the value of x in the first equation:
2y + y = 42
Simplify:
3y = 42
Divide both sides by 3:
y = 42 / 3
y = 14
Now we have the value for Y, solve for x by replacing y with 14:
x = 2y
x = 2(14)
x = 28
X = 28 and y = 14
