R=rate of boat in still water
c=rate of current
d=rt
since you're given that the time it takes to travel the same distance downstream and upstream, your equation will be d_1=d_2, or rt=rt
the rate upstream is r-c and the rate downstream is r+c (because the boat's and river's rates add up)
since you know t_1 and t_1 are 5 and 3, you can now set up 2 equations
<u>5*(r-c)=45</u> because (time upstream)*(rate upstream)=distance=45 miles
r-c=45/5=9
<u>3*(r+c)=45</u>
r+c=45/3=15
r-c=9 and r+c=15, so r=12 mi/h and c=3 mi/h

Nobody can solve this without any further information?
We will calculate this by using ratios and because these two triangles are similar, which is very important.
Explanation:
We see that the FG = 9 corresponds to the VU = 21. Therefore, FH = 18 corresponds to the UW = x.
9 : 21 = 18 : x
x = (21*18)/9
x = 378/9
x = 42.
The correct answer is B. 42.
Answer:
-5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 to 1 =3 x=3
4 to -1=5 y=-5
y/x slope=-5/3 or -1 2/3
2.5 is also on the top and try multiplying 2.5 and 10
