Let
x--------> <span>the speed of the boat in mph

we know that
</span>going upstream the speed is x-7 
<span>going downstream the speed is x+7 
</span>
let the distance be d 
<span>time to go upstream = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>time to go downstream = d/(x+7)
</span>
time going upstream is 3 times going downstream 
so
<span>3d/(x+7) = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>divide by d </span>
<span>3/(x+7) = 1/(x-7) </span>
<span>3x-21 = x+7 </span>
<span>2x = 28 </span>
<span>x = 14 
</span>
the answer is
<span>the speed of the boat in still water is 14 mph</span>

Exercise
svp [43]

By addition of all the exercise and substracting it from 1 hourJavier runs on treadmill on Monday is 0.40 hour.

Now According to the question javier completed 3 repetitions of each exercise so by multiplication time taken by javier to complete each exercise is as follow;

Squats = 0.8*3= 0.24 hour

Crunches = 0.03*3 = 0.09 hour

Lunges = 0.04*3 = 0.12 hour

curls = 0.05*3 = 0.15 hour

we can calculate total time taken to complete all exercise by Addition is,

0.24 + 0.09 + 0.12 + 0.15

0.60 hour

time taken on treadmill by javier;

1 hour - 0.60 hour

0.40 hour
