Algebra.Com's Answer #561392 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hank goes 10 mph in still water. He notices one day he goes 4 miles upstream in the same amount of time he goes downstream. What is the approximate speed of that day? \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Upstream DATA: \n" ); document.write( "distance = 4 miles ; rate = 10-c ; time = d/r = 4/(10-c) hrs \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Downstream DATA: \n" ); document.write( "distance = 4 miles ; rate = 10+c ; time = d/r = 4/(10+c) hrs \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "4/(10-c) = 4/(10+c) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Comment:: Either the speed of the current is zero or \n" ); document.write( "his distance downstream is different then his distance \n" ); document.write( "upstream. Please check your problem statement. \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( " |
