Question

Answer the question asked. When necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
A boat moves 6 kilometers upstream in the same amount of time it moves 20 kilometers
downstream. If the rate of the current is 6 kilometers per hour, find the rate of the boat in still water.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.555km p/h

shown as 555m  p/h

Step-by-step explanation:

First we convert km to meters

6k = 6000m

Time = distance / rate.

20/6 = 3.33333333 = 3hr + ( 0.33 x 60 = 19.8) - 3.20hr

then 3.33 / 6 = 0.555 km  = 555 meters p/h
