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
The car was towed for 48 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Amount charges by Acme towing = $30
Per mile charges = $3
Total charged = $174
Let, x be the number of miles.
Towing charges + Per mile charges*number of miles = Total charged
30+3x=174
Subtracting 30 from both sides

Dividing both sides by 3

The car was towed for 48 miles.
