The speed of current will be "4.5 mph" and the rate Pratap can row in still water will be "8.5 mph".
What does "speed" mean in mathematics?
- Speed is what it means. the speed of a change in an object's location in any direction.
- Speed is defined as the ratio of distance to the amount of time it took to cover that distance.
- Speed is a scalar quantity because it just has a direction and no magnitude.
Given:
Distance "26 miles" in time "2 hours".
Let,
Speed of water = y
Pratap speed when rowing in still water = x
As we know,
Speed = distance/time
then,
x + y = 26/2
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y
In return trip took him time "6.5 hours",
x - y = 26/6.5
x - y = 4
By substituting the value of "x", we get
13 - y - y = 4
13 - 2y = 4
2y = 13 - 4
2y = 9
y = 9/4 = 4.5 mph (Rate of the current)
By substituting the value of "y", we get
x = 13 - a
x = 13 - 4. 5 = 8.5 mph (Pratap can row in still water)

55% of x is 70
0.55 times x=70
divide both sides by 0.55

Step-by-step explanation:
80% like crisps
75% of the 80% like chocolate.
What percent of the total are the children who like chocolate and crisps?
75% of 80% = 60%
This 60% of children like chocolate and crisps
Answer:
8 questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
100 - 2x = 84
-2x + 100 = 84
-x + 50 = 42
x - 50 = -42
x = 8
