Answer to Problem 22PPS

6.07 miles per hour

Explanation of Solution

Given:

    Time travelled against the current(in hours)Time travelled with the current(in hours)
    Malik21
    Julio2.51.5

Total distance travelled against the current: 9.5 miles

Total distance travelled with the current: 20.5 miles

Speed of the current: 3 miles per hour.

Formula used:

  Speed=Distance Time

Speed in still water = speed of the current + speed of canoe still water

Calculation:

Let x be the distance travelled against the current.

Let y be the distance travelled with the current.

From the table,

  2x+2.5y=9.5....................(1)

  x+1.5y=20.5....................(2)

Multiply equation (2) with 2,

  2x+3y=41....................(3)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (3),

  (2x+3y)(2x+2.5y)=419.50.5y=31.5y=63

Substitute the value of y in equation (2),

  x+1.5(63)=20.5x=74

The distance travelled with the current is 63 miles

Total time travelled with the current is 20.5 miles

  Speed=63 20.5=3.07

Speed in still water = 3.07 + 3 = 6.07 miles per hour.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the speed of Malik and Julio in still water is 6.07 miles per hour.
