The Required ratio between the speed of the boat and speed of the water current is 8:3.

<h3>What is ratio?</h3>

In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six.

Given:

Upstream time= 8 hr 48 = 8 4/5 hour

Downstream time= 4 hour

Let the man's rate upstream be x kmph and that downstream be y kmph.

Then,

distance covered upstream in 8 hrs 48 min = Distance covered downstream in 4 hrs.

x* 8 hr 48 min = y* 4 hours

x* 8 4/5= 4y

y= 11/5 x

Now,

Required ratio

(y+x)/2:(y-x)/2

= (16x/5 * 1/2): ( 6x/5 *1/2)

=8/5:3/5

=8:3

Hence, the required ratio is 8:3.

Solve for v 17 - 2v = -53solve for v 17-2v=-53
lapo4ka [179]

Hey!

------------------------------------------------

Steps To Solve:

17 - 2v = -53

~Subtract 17 to both sides

17 - 2v - 17 = -53 - 17

~Simplify

-2v = -70

~Divide 2 to both sides

-2v/-2 = -70/-2

~Simplify

v = 35

------------------------------------------------

Hence, the answer is \Large\boxed{\mathsf{v~=~35}}

------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
