Let V, be the rate in still water and let C = rate river current
If the boat is going :
upstream, its rate is V-C and if going
downstream, its rate is V+C,
But V = 5C, then
Upstream Rate: 5C - C = 4 C
Downstream rate: 5C+C = 6C
Time = distance/Rate, (or time = distance/speed) , then:
Upstream time 12/4C and
Downstream time: 12/.6C
Upstream time +downstream time:= 2h30 ' then:
12/4C + 12/.6C = 2.5 hours
3/C + 2/C = 5/2 (2.5 h = 5/2)
Reduce to same denominator :
5C = 10 and Rate of the current = 2 mi/h
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
because the cost stays the same and you would multiply blank gallons of gas by 1.50 every time so it is proportional. For example: it would be $1.50 to 1 gallon, $3 to 2 gallons, $4.50 to 3 gallons and would keep going like that, adding the same amount every time
