Answer:
Correct answer: V₁ boat = 16 km/h and V₂ current = 4 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
If we take speed (velocity) of the boat as V₁ and speed of the current V₂
Let us form equations:
Traveling down the current V₁ + V₂ = 60/3 = 20 km/h
Traveling against the current V₁ - V₂ = 60/5 = 12 km/h
V₁ - V₂ = 12
V₁ + V₂ = 20
If we add up the left and right sides of the equations we get:
2 V₁ = 32 => V₁ = 32/2 = 16 km/h
from the second equation we get:
V₂ = 20 - V₁ = 20 - 16 = 4 km/h
V₂ = 4 km/h

If you would like to calculate the arithmetic mean, geometric mean, and harmonic mean from the following averages, you can calculate this using the following steps:
averages: 56.4, 59.8, 55.8
the number of values: 3
arithmetic mean:
(56.4 + 59.8 + 55.8) / 3 = 57.33
geometric mean:
(56.4 * 59.8 * 55.8)^(1/3) = 57.31
harmonic mean:
3 / (1/56.4 + 1/59.8 + 1/55.8) = 57.28
