∙ 14y agoSuppose the speed of the boat is x mph. Then upstream, it travels 5 hours at x-3 mph and so covers 5x - 15 miles.
When going downstream the boat covers the same distance, at x+3 mph, in 2.5 hours so (5x-15)/(x+3) = 2.5
Multiply through by 2*(x+3): 2*(5x-15) = 5*(x+3)
10x - 30 = 5x + 15 or 5x = 45 giving x = 9 mph.

∙ 14y agoA current yield is a bond's annual return based on its current price. This is different from its original price and face value.
15 miles
Whilst travelling downstream the boat travels at V + C mph where V is the speed of the boat in still water and C is the speed of the current. Whilst travelling upstream the speed is V - C mph. The downstream velocity = 24/2 = 12mph = V + C therefore C = 12 - V Velocity (speed) = Distance ÷ Time : therefore Distance = Velocity x Time. As the distance in either direction is the same then, 2(V+C) = 3(V-C) 2V + 2C = 3V - 3C V = 5C : substituting for C as C = 12-V V = 5(12 - V) = 60 - 5V 6V = 60 : V = 10 mph. Therefore, C = 12 - 10 = 2 mph The speed of the boat in still water is 10 mph and the speed of the current is 2 mph.

IRR stands for Internal Rate of Return. It is a financial metric used to measure the profitability of an investment. It represents the annualized rate of return at which the net present value of cash flows from an investment becomes zero.
Salmon seem to remember where they were hatched and will attempt to return to the spot. The unusual thing about this is, sometimes it involves swimming,upstream or against the current.

The current is approximately 4 mph.
Fish swim upstream by powerfully thrusting their tails to counteract the current. They are then able to slowly but surely travel upstream.
Salmon are anadromous, meaning they are born in freshwater, migrate to the ocean to mature, and then return to freshwater to spawn. What makes their spawning unique is their ability to navigate back to their natal streams using their sense of smell, and their physical transformation from silver-colored fish to red and green spawning colors.
The "River of No Return" is the nickname of a branch of the Salmon River in central Idaho. The river is famous for its strong rapids. The Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1805 was told that if they made it down this river, they would never be able to make it back upstream against the current. Without a motorboat, this still holds true today.

Velocity = Distance ÷ Time.The speed upstream = 300 ÷ 5 = 60kph.The speed downstream = 300 ÷ 2 = 150 kph.The speed upstream equals boat velocity(Vb) minus current velocity(Vc).The speed downstream equals boat velocity (Vb) pluscurrent velocity (Vc).Vb - Vc = 60Vb + Vc = 150 : Adding the two equations together gives :-2Vb = 210 : Vb = 105, therefore Vc = 45The rate of the boat in still water is 105 kph. The rate of the current is 45 kph.
