Answer:

  • 12 mph and 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the speed of the boat = b and the speed of the current = c

<u>Equations to reflect time, time = distance/speed:</u>

  • Downstream
  • 80/(b + c)= 5 ⇒ b - c = 80/5 ⇒ b + c = 16
  • Upstream
  • 80/(b - c) = 10 ⇒ b - c = 80/10 ⇒ b - c = 8

<u>Sum of the 2 equations above</u>

  • b + c  + b - c = 16 + 8
  • 2b = 24
  • b = 12
  • c = 16 - 12 = 4

So the speed of the boat is 12 mph

The speed of the current is 4 mph

One number is times a first number. A third number is 100 more than the first number. If the sum of the three numbers
icang [17]

When a number is 3 times a first number. A third number is 100 more than the first number and the sum of the three numbers is 450, the numbers are 70, 170 and 210.

<h3>How to calculate the numbers?</h3>

Let the first number = x

Second number = 3x

Third number = x + 100

Sum = 450

The numbers will be:

x + 3x + x + 100 = 450

5x + 100 = 450

5x = 450 - 100

5x = 350

Divide

x = 350 / 5

x = 70

First number = 70

Second number = 3x = 3 × 70 = 210

Third number = x + 100 = 70 + 100 = 170

Therefore, the numbers are 70, 170 and 210.
