1.2 in still water would be 1.2-0.5 upstream
0.7 ups
1.7 downs
Her estimate would not be greater, so it would be near the actual estimate. the numbers 70 and 10 are smaller than the numbers 73 and 12, so it is not possible for 70 x 10 to be more than 73 x 12 is. i hope this helps!!
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover it)
-- Traveling at 40 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 40 miles.
-- Traveling at 60 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 60 miles.
-- Total distance covered = (40 miles) + (60 miles) = 100 miles
-- Total time = (1 hour) + (1 hour) = 2 hours
-- Average speed = (100 miles) / (2 hours)
<em>Average speed = 50 miles per hour</em>
