Aboat has a speed of 5 mph in calm water. it takes the boat 3 hours to travel upstream but only 2 hours to travel the same distance downstream. using the data in the table, what is the value of c, the speed of the current?

The speed of the current is 1 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be the speed of the current.

Speed of boat in cal water = 5 mph

Speed of boat in upstream = (5-c) mph

Speed of boat in downstream = (5+c) mph

Formula for distance:

It is given that it takes the boat 3 hours to travel upstream but only 2 hours to travel the same distance downstream.

Isolate variable terms.

Divide both sides by -5.

Therefore the speed of the current is 1 mph.

step-by-step explanation:

multiply length by height. multiply the length by the height, and then double the product. work out 10 x 10 results = 100 square inches, then work out 100 x 2 = 200. the answer is 200 square inches.
