Answer:

  • 24 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The speed of the boat  in the lake = x
  • The speed of the current = 3 km/h

<u>Required equation:</u>

  • 54 / (x + 3) + 42 / (x - 3) = 96/x
  • 9x(x - 3) + 7x(x + 3) = 16(x + 3)(x - 3)
  • 9x² - 27x + 7x² + 21x = 16x² - 144
  • 6x = 144
  • x = 144/6
  • x = 24 km/h

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

  18 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start with the equivalence ...

  1/2 in = 3 miles

and multiply it by 6.

  6·(1/2 in) = 6·(3 miles)

  3 in = 18 miles

Towns that are 3 inches apart on the map are 18 miles apart on the ground.

___

Why 6? because that is the number 1/2 needs to be multiplied by to get 3. Said another way, ...

  3/(1/2) = 3·2 = 6
