Question

Problem Below:

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.

Answer 2

what are you needing help with on this?

Answer 3

Can someone help me solve this?

I'll pick the friend to be Cadin, and he will be riding a jet ski at lets say 20 mph.

From here, I'm not sure how to solve this. Can you guide me through step by step?

Answer 4

Oh, and Cadin drove the jet ski for 3 hours.

Answer 5

im not sure how i could help all you have to do is write a word problem you've already made it just write it in a sentence

Answer 6

Thats kind of what I need help with. I also need help with how to figure out how fast he was going in still water... :)

Answer 7

do you know what a word problem is?

Answer 8

well if he is going 20mph in still water for 3 hours mph means miles per hour so do 20*3 to solve that

Answer 9

ok use that just replace it with your variables

Answer 10

Would this be right?

Cadin drove a jet ski at 20mph, against the current for 3 hrs. He then drove with the current for 1 hr. How fast did Cadin travel in still water?

Answer 11

ok i misread the deal my bad lets go back to step 3

Answer 12
