Answer:
Speed of boat in still water = 11 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed = distance / time
or
Distance= Speed * time
Let s be speed of the boat upstream and r be the speed of the river.
Then
Upstream speed= s- r = 60/6= 10 miles per hour
Downstream speed= s+r= 72/6= 12 miles per hour
Therefore
s-r= 10--------- equation A
s+r= 12--------- equation B
Adding equation A and Eq. b
s-r= 10--------- equation A
<u>s+r= 12--------- equation B </u>
<u>2s = 22 </u>
<u />
or
s= 22/2= 11 miles per hour.
Speed of boat in still water = 11 miles per hour.
Answer:
2 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
both have 2 as a whole number
now make fraction into decimal
6/25 is 0.24 and and 1/8 is 0.125
therefore 2 1/8 is smaller
