Answer:

The actual  velocity of the canoe is 17 mi/hr in downward direction.  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of canoe, v_c=5\ mi/hr (downstream)

Velocity of stream, v_s=12\ mi/hr    

We need to find the actual velocity of the canoe. Let it is equal to v. As it is clear that both velocities are in same direction. So, the actual velocity of the canoe is given by the sum of velocity of canoe and the stream.

v=v_c+v_s

v=5+12

v = 17 mi/hr

Since, the velocity is positive. It means it is in downstream direction. So, the correct option is (d) "17 mi/hr, downstream".

777dan777 [17]

<span>I believe it is light, but this is kind of a confusing question. Technically there is a independent and dependent variable in the question. The variable being manipulated is light, and the earthwork activity depends on the light. </span>
