Question

In a river, a trout passed beneath a woman who was swimming at 1,800 centimeters per minute. The trout swam 6,300centimeters directly upstream at a constant velocity. It swam that distance in 1.4minutes. What was the trout's velocity?

Answer 1

6300 cm per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

V - 1800 = 6300 / 1.4

Simplifying the equation:

V - 1800 = 4500

Adding 1800 to both sides:

V = 6300

Hence, the trout's velocity in still water is 6300 centimeters per minute.
