Answer:
<em>Rate of Pratap in still water is 4.5 miles/hour and rate of current is 0.5 miles/hour.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Pratap Puri rowed 10 miles down a river in 2 hours, but the return trip took him 2.5 hours.
We know that, 
So, the <u>speed of Pratap with the current</u> will be:
miles/hour
and the <u>speed of Pratap against the current</u> will be:
miles/hour.
Suppose, the rate of Pratap in still water is
and the rate of current is
.
So, the equations will be........

Adding equation (1) and (2) , we will get......

Now, plugging this
into equation (1), we will get.....

Thus, Pratap can row at 4.5 miles per hour in still water and the rate of the current is 0.5 miles/hour.

Answer:
the answer will stay the same
Step-by-step explanation:
2x/3 - x/3 = x/3
they both have the same denominators (number at the bottom of the fraction) so all you have to do it subtract the numerators (top of the fraction) together. 2x-x =x, that's why it's x on the numerator for the answer
