Question

Лодка проплывает по течению реки1,6 км за 12 мин.Найдите скорость течения и скорость лодки в стоячей воде, если скорость течения реки составляет 0,125 скорости лодки по течению.

Answer 1

12 мин=1/5 ч=0,2 ч
1,6/0,2=8 км/ч - скорость лодки по течению
8*0,125=1 км/ч - скорость течения
8-1=7 км/ч - скорость лодки в стоячей воде

Answer 2

Problem Analysis

We are given that a boat travels 1.6 km in 12 minutes along the current of a river. We need to find the speed of the current and the speed of the boat in still water. We are also given that the speed of the current is 0.125 times the speed of the boat relative to the current.

Solution

Let's assume the speed of the boat in still water is x km/h, and the speed of the current is y km/h.

We know that the boat travels 1.6 km in 12 minutes (or 0.2 hours) along the current. This can be represented by the equation:

1.6 = (x + y) * 0.2 We are also given that the speed of the current is 0.125 times the speed of the boat relative to the current. This can be represented by the equation:

y = 0.125x To solve these equations, we can substitute the value of y from equation into equation:

1.6 = (x + 0.125x) * 0.2

Simplifying the equation:

1.6 = 0.225x * 0.2

1.6 = 0.045x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.045:

x = 1.6 / 0.045

x ≈ 35.56

So, the speed of the boat in still water is approximately 35.56 km/h.

To find the speed of the current, we can substitute the value of x into equation:

y = 0.125 * 35.56

y ≈ 4.445

So, the speed of the current is approximately 4.445 km/h.

Answer

The speed of the current is approximately 4.445 km/h and the speed of the boat in still water is approximately 35.56 km/h.

Verification

Let's verify our answer using the given information.

The boat travels 1.6 km in 12 minutes (or 0.2 hours) along the current. The speed of the boat in still water is approximately 35.56 km/h, and the speed of the current is approximately 4.445 km/h.

The speed of the boat relative to the current is the sum of the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current:

35.56 + 4.445 ≈ 39.005

The distance traveled by the boat relative to the current can be calculated by multiplying the speed by the time:

39.005 * 0.2 ≈ 7.801

As we can see, the boat travels approximately 7.801 km relative to the current, which is close to the given distance of 1.6 km.

Therefore, our answer is verified.
