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.

A pile of 37 coins consists of nickels and dimes. The total value
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

25 dimes & 12 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be "n" nickels and "d" dimes

Total, there are 37 of them, so we can write:

n + d = 37

Also, valueof nickel is 0.05 and value of dime is 0.10 (in dollars) and total value of these 37 coins is 3.10, so we can write:

0.05n + 0.10d = 3.10

Now we can write first equation as:

n + d = 37

n = 37 - d

Replace this into equation 2 and solve for d:

0.05n + 0.10d = 3.10

0.05(37 - d) + 0.10d = 3.10

1.85 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 3.10

0.05d = 3.10 - 1.85

0.05d = 1.25

d = 1.25/0.05

d = 25

Now, n = 37 - d, n = 37 - 25 = 12

So,

There are 25 dimes & 12 nickels
