Correct answer is the one you put
The answer is A because both numbers can be divided by 6 to get 5 : 9
Answer:
- team: 8 kph
- current: 4 kph
Step-by-step explanation:
The downstream speed is ...
speed = distance / time
speed = 36 km/(3 h) = 12 km/h
The upstream speed is ...
12 km/(3 h) = 4 km/h
__
If b and c represent the speeds of the boat and current, respectively, then we have ...
b + c = 12
b - c = 4
Adding these gives ...
2b = 16
b = 8
c = b -4 = 4
The rate of the rowing team in calm water is 8 km/h; the rate of the current is 4 km/h.
