Answer:
The rate of current is 2.5 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed in the water when current is absent is 9 mph.
If the speed of the current is v mph then the upstream speed is (9 - v) mph and the downstream speed is (9 + v) mph.
Now, it takes 5 hours longer to travel 74 miles upstream than down stream, then we can write the equation as
⇒ 
⇒ 148v = 405 - 5v²
⇒ 5v² + 148v - 405 = 0
Applying Sridhar Acharya's formula we can write
(Neglecting the negative root)
⇒ 
mph (Rounded to the nearest 10th) (Answer)
Add 9 to both sides to get 4n=0 so n=0
Line YZ is the midsegment of triangle QRS because it connects the midpoints of lines QR and RS. We would solve for x by appying the midsegment theorem which states that the midsegment is half the length of the third side or base. This means that
YZ = 1/2(QS)
x + 2 = 1/2 * (3x - 8)
2(x + 2) = 3x - 8
By opening the parenthesis, we have
2x + 4 = 3x - 8
Collecting like terms, we have
3x - 2x = 4 + 8
x = 12
Option C is correct
The ratio is 11 : 7. I.e the number of red apples are 11 and that of green are 7
