Answer:    The rate of boat is 60 kmh.

                  The rate of current is 5 kmh.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the rate of boat in still water is : b kmh

Suppose the rate of current is  : c kmh

When the boat is going upstream, the relative speed will be : (b-c)

When the boat is going downstream, the relative speed will be: (b+c)

Boat travels 220 kilometers in 4 hours going upstream.

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

(b-c)=\frac{220}{4}   .................. equation (1)

It travels 260 kilometers going downstream in the same amount of time.

(b+c)=\frac{260}{4}  ................... equation (2)

Adding equation 1 and 2

b-c+b+c=\frac{220}{4}+\frac{260}{4}

2b=\frac{480}{4}

2b=120

b=60

Plugging the value of b as 60 in equation 2

60+c=\frac{260}{4}

60+c=65

c=5

Hence the rate of boat is 60 kmh.

Hence the rate of current is 5 kmh.

Hope it will help :)

What is 2/5% of 820?<br><br> 1.8<br><br> 2.05<br><br> 2.88<br><br> 3.28
Margarita [4]

Answer:

D) 3.28

Step-by-step explanation:

820/x=100/2.5

(820/x)*x=(100/2.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

820=40*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40) to get x

820/40=x

20.5=x

x=20.5

now we have:

2.5% of 820=20.5
