Kellen's boat travels 12 mph. find the rate of the
river current if she can travel 6 mi upstream in
the same amount of time she can go 10 mi
downstream. (let x = the rate of the current.)
the rate of the river current is

Rate of  river current is = 3 mph

Explanation:

Given speed of boat in still water is equal to 12mph

We know speed = distance divided by time

Given distance travelled upstream = 6 miles and

that  distance travelled downstream = 10 miles

Let x = rate of river current

and t = time taken to travel 6miles upstream as well as to travel 10 miles downstream

We know, speed downstream = speed of current + speed of boat = x + 12

Speed upstream = speed of current - speed of boat = x - 12

speed downstream = 10 divided by t and speed upstream = 6 divided by t  

so the two equations are -  

and

dividing the two equations we get  

solving for x we get x = 3mph  is the rate of river current.

other answer is correct. i had used the radius of the radius somehow. a website:

answer: 10 turtles

step-by-step explanation: as turtles have four legs so 4.10=40 therefore birds are 4 which sue counted
