Answer:
The rate of the boat in still water is 44 mph and the rate of the current is 4 mph
Explanation:
x = the rate of the boat in still water
y = the rate of the current.
Distance travelled = 120 mi
Time taken upstream = 3 hr
Time taken downstream = 2.5 hr
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed upstream

Speed downstream

Adding both the equations


The rate of the boat in still water is <u>44 mph</u> and the rate of the current is <u>4 mph</u>
V=IR so voltage is directly proportional to current. So for a given resistance increasing the voltage will result in a high current as well. This is because resistance is proportional to the voltage over the current. Ex: I=V/R
