The speed of a boat in still water (b) is 50km/h. It takes the same time (t) for the boat to travel 10km (x) upstream as it does to travel 20km (y) downstream. Find the speed of the current.​

upstream speed (u) = speed in still water (b) - stream speed (s) = b-s = 50-s

downstream speed (d) = speed in still water (b) + stream speed (s) = 50+s

time (t) = x/u = y/d

10/(50-s) = 20/(50+s)

10(50+s) = 20(50-s)

500 + 10s = 1000 - 20s

30s = 500

stream speed (s) = 500/30 = 16.6 km/h

How manys days makes a leap year?​
dem82 [27]

Answer: In an ordinary year, if you were to count all the days in a calendar from January to December, you'd count 365 days. But approximately every four years, February has 29 days instead of 28. So, there are 366 days in the year. This is called a leap year.
