Answer:
6.11km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed that Kelli swims be represented by Y
Speed of the river = 5km/hr
Distance = Speed × Time
Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour
Swimming upstream takes a negative sign, hence:
1 hour ×( Y - 5) = Distance
Distance = Y - 5
She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes
Downstream takes a positive sign
Converting 6 minutes to hour =
60 minutes = 1 hour
6 minutes =
Cross Multiply
6/60 = 1/10 hour
Hence, Distance =
1/10 × (Y + 5)
= Y/10 + 1/2
Equating both equations we have:
Y - 5 = Y/10 + 1/2
Collect like terms
Y - Y/10 = 5 + 1/2
9Y/10 = 5 1/2
9Y/ 10 = 11/2
Cross Multiply
9Y × 2 = 10 × 11
18Y = 110
Y = 110/18
Y = 6.1111111111 km/hr
Therefore, Kelli's can swim as fast as 6.11km/hr still in the water.
Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53 (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a - 3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
5b = 80
b = 80/5
b = 16
Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37
The numbers are 16 and 37</span>
