Make an equation:
x= 16% x 50
x= 16 50
---- x ---- Cross Multiply
100 1
x= 16
------ = 8
2/5+-1/3 please excuse my sloppy writing
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
He has to buy 4 packs. If you divide 23 by 6, you get 3.833 but you can’t buy a fraction of a pack so you have to round up and buy 4 packs. Hope this made sense; I can explain further if needed!
I would say A hope I helped
