Drive a jet ski
Step 2:

Select a current speed of the water in mph.

Step 3:

Select the number of hours (be reasonable please) that your friend or family member drove the boat or jets ski against the current speed you chose in step 2.

Step 4:

Select the number of hours that your friend or family member made the same trip with the current (this should be a smaller number, as your friend or family member will be traveling with the curr

Answer 1

first pick a family member, or friend, choose the transportation, choose a reasonable speed, for ex: 90mph/hr and a reason amount of hours say 2 and continue with number 4...

Answer 4

could you help me with these two steps?

Answer 5

are you doing linear equations?

Answer 6

no these are what it says to me : For distance problems:

Draw a diagram if you are not given one. Diagrams help you to visualize what is going on in the problem.
Since these problems involve distance, you will use the formula d = rt, where d stands for distance, r stands for the rate, and t stands for time.
For current and wind problems, remember that going against the current or wind slows down the rate, while going with the current or wind increases the rate.
Dissect each piece of information carefully regarding the scenario and draw a table if needed.
