Answer:

Time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is T = 192.12 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat = u \frac{km}{hr}

Speed of current = v \frac{km}{hr}

Let distance between A & B = 100 km

Time taken in downstream = 32 hours

32 = \frac{100}{u +v}

u + v = \frac{100}{32}

u + v = 3.125 ------ (1)

Time taken in upstream = 48 hours

48 = \frac{100}{u -v}

u -v = \frac{100}{48}

u - v = 2.084 ------- (2)

By solving equation (1) & (2)

u = 2.6045 \frac{km}{hr}

v = 0.5205 \frac{km}{hr}

Now the time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance

T = \frac{100}{v}

Because un powered raft travel with the speed of the current.

T = \frac{100}{0.5205}

T = 192.12 hr

Therefore the  time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is

T = 192.12 hr

I'll go by boxes (top statement box is #1, top reason box is #2, etc.)

If you don't have enough boxes, you can omit (remove) the first 2 I wrote, which is the given

1. 8y = 9x - 14; y = 5
2. Given

3. 8(5) = 9x - 14
4. Substitution

5. 40 = 9x - 14
6. Simplification (or multiplication)

7. 54 = 9x
8. Additive property of equality

9. 6 = x
10. Division property of equality

11. x = 6
12. Symmetrical property of equality


Hope this helps (:
