Answer:

  • boat: 48 km/h
  • current: 14 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The upstream speed is ...

  u = (204 km)/(6 h) = 34 km/h

The downstream speed is ...

  d = (372 km)/(6 h) = 62 km/h

The speed of the boat in still water is the average of these values:

  b = (34 kph +62 kph)/2 = 48 kph

The speed of the water is the difference between the boat's speed and the speed made good:

  w = 48 -34 = 14 . . . km/h

The rate of the boat in still water is 48 km/h. The rate of the current is 14 km/h.

What is the value of y?
Slav-nsk [51]
In a triangle all of the angles always add up to 180, so let's set up an equation.

79 + 37 + y = 180
Simplify
116 + y = 180
Subtract 116 from both sides.
y = 64

The value of y is 64.

Hopefully this helps! If you have any more questions or don't understand, please comment or DM me, and I'll get back to you ASAP. :)

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

There are multiple possibilities. One is there are 12 boys, and 16 girls. 12+16= 28 which is between 20 and 30. That would be 12:16, which can be simplified to 3:4. There is also 9 boys, and 12 girls. that would be 9:12, which can be simplified to 3:4. Also, 9 + 12 = 21, which is between 20 and 30.
