Answer:
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'd' be the distance covered
Let x be the speed of the rivers current
Speed upstream = 15-x
speed downstream = 15+x
Time = distance / speed
time upstream = 
time downstream = 
the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream
= 
divide both sides by d
= 
cross multiply


Add 2x on both sideds

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

x=5
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
Answer
8 %( When we round off to the neaerest tenths we get 10%)
Step-by-step explanation
4/50*100
=4*2
=8%
40 times 3/3+5= Niamh’s amount = 40x3/8 = 15 pencils
40 times 5/3+5= Jack’s amount =
40x5/8 = 25 pencils
