Step-by-step explanation:
I hope I helped you^_^
R=rate of boat in still water
c=rate of current
d=rt
since you're given that the time it takes to travel the same distance downstream and upstream, your equation will be d_1=d_2, or rt=rt
the rate upstream is r-c and the rate downstream is r+c (because the boat's and river's rates add up)
since you know t_1 and t_1 are 5 and 3, you can now set up 2 equations
<u>5*(r-c)=45</u> because (time upstream)*(rate upstream)=distance=45 miles
r-c=45/5=9
<u>3*(r+c)=45</u>
r+c=45/3=15
r-c=9 and r+c=15, so r=12 mi/h and c=3 mi/h

To determine the new amount you need to find out what 2/3 of 4 1/2 is equal to. What you see "of" in an algebraic expression or equation, replace it with (×).
2/3 of 4 1/2 =
2/3 × 4 1/2 =
Convert 4 1/2 to an improper fraction.
2/3 × 9/2 =
Now multiply and reduce
18/6 = 3
