Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
b = speed rate of the boat.
c = speed rate of the current.
keeping in mind that, as the boat goes Upstream, against the current, it's speed is not "b", but is really " b - c ", because the current is subtracting speed from it.
likewise, when the boat is going Downstream, because is going with the current, is really going faster at " b + c ".

what is the speed of the boat? well, 61 + c = b.
Area is base multiplied by height, so to get the answer you'd need to multiply 6.5 and 4
It takes Omar 30 seconds to eat one considering he ate 8 in 4 minutes ...
If we really wanted to we could turn this into the fraction 8/4
8 being the amount of carrot sticks he ate and 4 being the time it took
now all u have to do is simplify that turns into 2/1 and since the 1 is one minute and her can eat 2 in one minute we can safely say he eats 1 carrot stick every 30 seconds
:) hope this helps!!
