Micah rows his boat on a river 4.48 miles downstream, with the current, in 0.32 hours. he rows back upstream the same distance, against the current, in 0.56 hours. assuming his rowing speed and the speed of the current are constant, what is the speed of the current?

3 miles per hour
8 miles per hour
11 miles per hour
14 miles per hou

Option a) 3 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = rowing speed and y = speed of current

Upstream relative speed = x+y and down speed = x-y

Distance travelled is the same

Hence (x+y)0.32 = (x-y)0.56

0.24x = 0.88y

3x =11y

Substitute in

Option a) 3 miles per hour

step-by-step explanation:

$8

step-by-step explanation:

it is pretty much backwards.

you take the 4x2 multiply that, and that is = $8
