The current in a stream moves at a speed of 4 mph. A boat travels 5 miles upstream and 13 miles downstream in a total time of 2 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: I believe it is 4.5mph because traveling upstream and the stream moves at a speed of 4mph would knock off 4 of the original number so if you add 4miles to the given 5 miles you get 9

The same is with the boat going downstream it is adding 4 miles to the original number so you subtract 13 and 4 and you get 9

If it took 2 hours to do that then you divide 9 by 2 and get 4.5

Mackenzie ran the olympic marathon of 26 1/5 miles in a time of 5 4/5 hours. How far did she run in a 1 hour?

Answers

If you would like to know how far did Mackenzie run in one hour, you can calculate this using the following steps:

26 1/5 = 131/5 miles ... 5 4/5 = 29/5 hours
x miles = ? ... 1 hour

131/5 * 1 = 29/5 * x
131/5 = 29/5 * x
x = 131/5 * 5/29
x = 131/29
x = 4 15/29 miles

The correct result would be 4 15/29 miles.
