4 0

Answer:

about 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers round to 600/30 = 20, which is a reasonable estimate.

You can refine this by doing the next step of long division:

29×20 = 580

Subtracting this from 591.3 give 11.3, so the fraction is ...

11.3/29 ≈ 10/30 = 1/3

A better estimate is 20 1/3.

Answer:

The speed from the observer is 8 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the boat is going downstream with full force, its speed will be the one the oarsman can row on still water added by the flow of the river. In this case he can row the boat at speed of 3 mph, while the stream is 5 mph, so the speed from the observer standpoint is:

$speed = 3 + 5\\speed = 8 \text{ mph}$
