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.

Ian wants to run 412 miles to get ready for his upcoming race. He has set up 3 markers the same distance apart to show how far h
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Each marker will be exactly <u>103</u> miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Ian wants to run 412 miles and has set up 3 markers the same distance apart.

Between the start and end of run, the 3 separate markers will divide the 412-mile distance into 4 equal segments.

So each segment = 412/4 = 103 miles

Each marker will be exactly <u>103</u> miles apart.
