Answer:
6.11km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed that Kelli swims be represented by Y
Speed of the river = 5km/hr
Distance = Speed × Time
Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour
Swimming upstream takes a negative sign, hence:
1 hour ×( Y - 5) = Distance
Distance = Y - 5
She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes
Downstream takes a positive sign
Converting 6 minutes to hour =
60 minutes = 1 hour
6 minutes =
Cross Multiply
6/60 = 1/10 hour
Hence, Distance =
1/10 × (Y + 5)
= Y/10 + 1/2
Equating both equations we have:
Y - 5 = Y/10 + 1/2
Collect like terms
Y - Y/10 = 5 + 1/2
9Y/10 = 5 1/2
9Y/ 10 = 11/2
Cross Multiply
9Y × 2 = 10 × 11
18Y = 110
Y = 110/18
Y = 6.1111111111 km/hr
Therefore, Kelli's can swim as fast as 6.11km/hr still in the water.
Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.
His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8
Distance = speed × time
Kevin hiked up Lamb’s Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 × x = 2x
He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 × (x + 2.8) =
x + 2.8
Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then
2x = x + 2.8
2x - x = 2.8
x = 2.8
Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is
2x = 2 × 2.8 = 5.6 miles
Answer:
266.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to take 285, and add 127 to that. You get 412. Subtract 146, and you get 266.
