Let's find the remaining distance they must travel.

Total distance-distance covered
150-60=90 mi

Now, we need to find the average speed they need to travel per hour to reach the destination in 2.5 (2 1/2) hours.


90 mi/2.5 h=36 mi/h

They must travel at an average speed of 36mph to reach their destination in 2 1/2 hours.

Check:
60+36(2.5)
=120 mi

Kryger [21]

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

sdas [7]

Answer:

135 square ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you need to find the area of this rectangle. Area is always base x height, or in this case, length x width. Now you multply your length, 15', by your width, 9', to get your answer, 135 square feet. When you multiply two measurments of the same unit together, you get square (units), which simply means that you multiplied two of the same unit of measurment together.
