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>

Malia is placing a barrier around the edge of a circular path with a diameter of 13 meters. The barriers are in lengths of 2.5 m
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

we need some barriers such that total of length of all barriers should equal to the circumference of the circle.

so lets assume we need x barriers

then total length of all barriers = 2.5x meter

now radius of circular path = diameter / 2= 13/2 = 6.5 meter

circumference of path = 2× pi × r = 2 × 3.14 × 6.5

=40.82 meter

so now as per statement

2.5x = 40.82

x = 40.82/2.5 = 16.328 ≈ 17

so approximately 17 barriers are required
