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.

Answer:

  (c)  11

Step-by-step explanation:

As x goes up by 1, f(x) goes up by 2. The next line of the chart would be ...

  x = 4+1 = 5; f(x) = 9+2 = 11

The appropriate choice is f(5) = 11.
