the boat travels in still water is 5 times the rate of the river current, what is the rate of the current?

Answer:

2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

time = distance / speed

Let c represent the rate of the current. Then the upstream rate of the boat relative to the shore is (5c -c) = 4c, and the <em>upstream time</em> is ...

... 12/(4c) = 3/c.

Likewise, the downstream rate is (5c +c) = 6c, and the <em>downstream time</em> is ...

... 12/(6c) = 2/c.

The <em>total time</em> is the sum of upstream and downstream times:

... 3/c +2/c = 2.5

... 5/c = 2.5 . . . . . . combine terms

... 5/2.5 = c = 2 . . . multiply by c/2.5

Can someone pls help me with this?
lara [203]

Answer:

14 is A

15 is B

Step-by-step explanation:

14 . the answer is a because first off the slope is negative so we can immediately eliminate B and D second of all the slope is 1/2 so we can eliminate D and get that the answer has to be a

15. answer is B for this one because first of all the slope is negative so we can immediately eliminate A and c and second of all the y-intercept would be 120 because 90 is what x=1 so we would have to add 30 to get what y would equal when x=0 if that makes sense
