Answer 1

Step 1:

Pick a friend or family member to be the character of your word problem. This friend or family member may do one of the following:

Drive a boat
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 current).

Step 5:

Write out the word problem you created and calculate how fast your friend or family member was traveling in still water. Round your answer to the nearest mph.

I cant use a graph.. My teacher said no graphs because we have to submit this threw Microsoft word 2008

Answer 4

My dad drove our motorboat 10 miles up to his favorite fishing spot in 1/2 hour going against a 5 mile per hour current. When he got done fishing (he didn't catch anything) he came back to where we were camping and it only took him 1/3 hour because he had the current pushing him along. How fast can he go if there is no current?

Answer 5

That isn't a graph. It's a chart. And don't use it if you don't want to. I only did it so you could understand the problem.

Answer 6

So how fast can he go if there is no curent?

Answer 7

Could you calculate who fast he was going in still water?

Answer 8

Answer 11

and no i dont know.

Answer 12

\[\frac{1}{2}(r-5)=10\]
