Speed, S = Distance (d) / Time (t) => S= d/t => t= d/S

Let the speed of boat in still water be x mph

Resulting speed upstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 30 miles
Resulting speed downstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 50 miles

Time taken in both distances is equal.
Therefore,

30/(x-4) = 50/(x+4) => 30(x+4) = 50(x-4) => 30x+120 = 50x-200 => 120+200 = (50-30)x => 20x = 320 => x=320/20 = 16 mph

The speed of boat in still water is 16 mph.

Can someone help lol free points btw

Answer:

The correct answer would be C

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the data, you can tell that the first two are going to be wrong. The minimum is 1, and the maximum is 5.

A mode, by definition, is the number that appears most in the data. According to answer D, 3 appears 3 times in the data. That is incorrect, as 3 only appears twice in the data.

This leaves only answer C. We need to make sure it's correct. The answer mentions the mean as a value between 2 and 3. Mean is the average. To find the average, you must add all the values together first.

1 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 3 = 23

Then, you must divide the value by the number of data given. There are 8 numbers here, so you must divide 23 by 8.

23/8 = 2.875

2.875 is between the numbers 2 and 3 like answer C said, so C is correct.
