The answer too the problem is C
Let speed of the boat in still water = x miles per hour
Let speed of the current = y miles per hour
When water and current both flow in same direction then effective speed will be sum of both speeds that is (x+y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x+y)=160/8
or x+y=20...(i)
When water and current both flow in opposite direction then effective speed will be difference of both speeds that is (x-y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x-y)=160/40
or x-y=4
or x=4+y...(ii)
plug value of x into (i)
4+y+y=20
4+2y=20
2y=16
y=8
plug value of y into (ii)
x=4+8=12
Hence final answer is given by:
Speed of the boat in still water = 12 miles per hour
Speed of the current = 8 miles per hour

Answer:
35.8
Step-by-step explanation:
= 358
We know that our answer can never be greater than 358 since the dividend
is 340.1 and the divisor is 9.5;
Also,
Both values are to one decimal places and we can use this to solve the problem;
9 can divide 340 in about 37 place with a remainder of 7,
So, it is appropriate to make the solution 35.8
