Answer:

Divide the number of miles traveled by the travel time in hours. That will give you the average speed in miles per hour.

the first will equal 25 miles/hour

when dividing 125m/5h

when downhill it traveled faster at a rate of 35MPH

okay we'll need to sampi the answer

B for boat

C for current

B-c = d/time Uphill will equal = 125/5

so 25

B= 25 - c

d/time downhill = 175/5H = 35mph

25 -c -c =35

this brings it down to 10mph

-5c = 10mphs

which will equal

c= -5 = 5mphs

boat - 5mphs = 25mphs upstream

equals
