Answer:
- boat: 16 mph
- current: 4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = distance / time
The rate downriver is (60 mi)/(3 h) = 20 mi/h.
The rate upriver is (60 mi)/(5 h) = 12 mi/h.
The rate of the boat in still water is the average of these:
(20 +12)/2 mi/h = 16 mi/h
The rate of the current is the difference between the boat speed and actual speed:
16 mi/h - 12 mi/h = 4 mi/h
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can't answer c. There is not enough information. Other than there are 14 boys that went, you know nothing about how many went.
Girls going = (3/5) * 20 = 12
Girls not going = 20 - 12 = 8
Sin 45 = X / 14
X = 14 * sin45
X = 7√2≈9.89949
Thus ladder will reach to ≈ 9.9 (rouded-up) foot height in the building
