A tortoise is walking in the desert. It walks at a speed of 3 meters per minute for 37.5 meters.

5 0

There are three elements in this problem. That is the speed, time and distance. If two of the above-mentioned are given there is no problem of getting the third. In the problem, speed and distance is given, and time is required. Speed is equal to distance over time.

3m/min = 37.5m / t.

Let us then find for t. Doing algebraic manipulation we should get t = 12.5 mins.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

9 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

-let x be the speed of current and t be time. The speed equation for both directions can then be represented as:

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\\#Upstream\\(u-6)t=9\\\\\#Donwstream\\\\(u+6)t=45$

#Since t is equal in both, we can do away with t.

#We the divide the downstream equation by the upstream equation as:

$\frac{u+6}{u-6}=\frac{45}{9}\\\\(u+6)=5(u-6)\\\\u+6=5u-30\\\\4u=36\\\\u=9$

Hence, the boat's speed in still water is 9 mph
