Answer:

  22 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Against the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...

  (120 mi)/(6 h) = 20 mi/h

With the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...

  (120 mi)/(5 h) = 24 mi/h

___

The sum of boat speed (b) and current speed (c) is 24 mph. The difference is 20 mph. This lets us write the equations ...

  b + c = 24

  b - c = 20

Adding these two equations together, we get ...

  2b + 0c = 44

  b = 22 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The rate of the boat in still water is 22 miles per hour.

Does anyone know the answer?
Alexxandr [17]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

88

Discussion:

Angle Q is an inscribed angle so

    measure angle Q = 44  =

                      (1/2) measure of intercepted arc.

In other words,

44 = 1/2 mST               =>   multiply both sides by 2

m ST = 44*2 = 88

which is the second choice

Thank you,

MrB
