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

If the average of b and c is 8, and d=3b-4, what is the average of c and d in terms of b?
Olegator [25]

Answer:

b+6

Problem:

If the average of b and c is 8, and d=3b-4, what is the average of c and d in terms of b?

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given (b+c)/2=8 and d=3b-4.

We are asked to find (c+d)/2 in terms of variable, b.

We need to first solve (b+c)/2=8 for c.

Multiply both sides by 2: b+c=16.

Subtract b on both sides: c=16-b

Now let's plug in c=16-b and d=3b-4 into (c+d)/2:

([16-b]+[3b-4])/2

Combine like terms:

(12+2b)/2

Divide top and bottom by 2:

(6+1b)/1

Multiplicative identity property applied:

(6+b)/1

Anything divided by 1 is that anything:

(6+b)

6+b

b+6
