Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 3/( s-5) = 13/(s+5)
13*(s-5) = 3*(s+5) = 3*s+15 = 13*s-65
10*s=80
s = 8;

8 mph.

What problem did the steamboat solve?

The steamboat revolutionized transportation by providing a reliable and efficient means of moving goods and people along rivers and inland waterways. Prior to its invention, river travel was often slow and dependent on wind or manual labor, making it difficult to navigate upstream. The steamboat's ability to travel both upstream and downstream significantly reduced travel time and costs, facilitating trade and commerce. This innovation also contributed to the expansion of settlements and economic development in regions previously difficult to access.

True.


In still water a boat can travel four times as fast as the current in the river A trip up the river and back which totaled 150 km took 8h Find the speed of the current?

Call the unknown speed of the current c and the speed of the boat in still water b. When travelling upstream, the net speed of the boat will be b - c and when travelling downstream the net speed of the boat will be b + c. Since b = 4c, the speed upstream will be 3c. The distance upstream is one-half the total travelling distance of 150 km or 75 kilometers. Distance travelled = speed X time at speed, so that upstream time = 75/3c, downstream time = 75/5c, and the sum of these is the total time stated to be 8 hours. Thus 75/3c + 75/5c = 8. Multiplying both sides by 15c yields 75(5 +3) = 120c, or c = (8 X 75)/120 = 5 kilometers per hour.

Does a river travel upstream or down?

By definition all rivers run downstream, with the possible exception of tidal effects where the river meets the sea (as the tide comes in, in some places the water may run "backward" up the river for a usually short distance).
