Answer:

Correct answer: V₁ boat = 16 km/h and V₂ current = 4 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take speed (velocity) of the boat as V₁ and speed of the current V₂

Let us form equations:

Traveling down the current  V₁ + V₂ = 60/3 = 20 km/h

Traveling against the current  V₁ - V₂ = 60/5 = 12 km/h

V₁ - V₂ = 12

V₁ + V₂ = 20

If we add up the left and right sides of the equations we get:

2 V₁ = 32  =>    V₁ = 32/2 = 16 km/h

from the second equation we get:

V₂ = 20 - V₁ = 20 - 16 = 4 km/h

V₂ = 4 km/h

God is with you!!!

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Third Option

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use process of elimination to find the answer to this question. It's not the first option because a scribes job was mainly in the government district as writers/record keepers meaning they don't really protect the kingdom from invasion. It's not the second options because Merchants were traders, meaning they don't make up the Pharaohs police force because all they do is sell goods to Egyptians. Then it's not fourth option because farmers, servants, and slaves make up way more then 20% of ancient Egypt. Leaving the third option meaning it's your answer.

Hope this helps.
