Answer: 2mp

Step-by-step explanation: Let "b" represent the speed of the boat in still water

Let "c" represent the speed of the current

Let "t" represent time

Downstream(same direction) =(b+c)*t

Upstream(against current)=(b-c)*t

(b+c)*3=24

(b-c)*4=16

3b+3c=24....all sides can be divided by 3 =b+c=8

4b-4c=16.....all sides can be divided by 4 =b-c=4

Use Elimination method

b+c=8

b-c= 4 Subtracting

=====

2c=4

find c by dividing both sides by 2. c=2

if c=2, substitute to get b

b+2=8

 -2=-2

======

b=6

Speed of boat in still water =6mph

rate of current=2mp

How do I do this problem
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

It is really quite simple, there are going to be three answers you can get Homozygous Dominant (TT or two capitol letters), Heterozygous (Tt one capitol and one lower case, and Homozygous Recessive (tt or two lowercase letters). To find the specific genotype or phenotype, you look at the letters and compare them to the chart. For the punnett square, you use the two parents genotypes, and put one on each of two sides on the square and take one letter from each side of the square and put them together. The probability is just how many of each is that specific phenotype, but you will want to us either ratios or percents. I hope this is helpful.
