Answer:
3 and 11
Step-by-step explanation:
3 times 11 is 33
11 - 3 is 8
The speed of the current is 40.34 mph approximately.
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
Given, a man can drive a motorboat 70 miles down the Colorado River in the same amount of time that he can drive 40 miles upstream.
We have to find the speed of the current if the speed of the boat is 11 mph in still water. Now, let the speed of river be a mph. Then, speed of boat in upstream will be a-11 mph and speed in downstream will be a+11 mph.
And, we know that, 

We are given that, time taken for both are same. So 

Hello there k12 user. - i am in k12 too :)
cough.
use mathpapa look it up it should give your anwser i cant copy and paste it, but its there
just put in the numbers
Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
x - y = 0.6
y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude
The solution of the first pair of equations is
(x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)
The solution of the first and last equations is
(x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)
The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.
