Answer: the speed of the current is 0.6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the current.

James is kayaking. He can row 3 mph in still water. If he can travel 6 miles downstream. Assuming he went with the current, it means that his total speed while travelling downstream is (3 + x)

Time = distance/speed

Time taken to travel downstream is

6/(3 + x)

In the same amount of time, he can travel 4 miles upstream. Assuming he went against the current, it means that his total speed while travelling downstream is (3 - x). Time taken to travel upstream is

4/(3 - x)

Since the time is the same, then

6/(3 + x) = 4/(3 - x)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

6(3 - x) = 4(3 + x)

18 - 6x = 12 + 4x

4x + 6x = 18 - 12

10x = 6

x = 6/10

x = 0.6 mph

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

55years

Explanation:

According to the given expression

FV = P +Prt

P is the initial deposit = $1000

FV is the future value = 4(1000) = $4000

r is the rate = 5.5% = 0.055

Required

Time t

Substitute the given values into the expression as shown;

FV = P +Prt

4000 = 1000 + 1000(0.055)t

4000 - 1000 = 55t

3000 = 55t

Swap

55t = 3000

t = 3000/55

t = 54.5years

t = 55years

This means it will take the deposit of $1000 55years to quadruple
