Question 3 of 5
A canoe travels 7 miles per hour downstream and 1 mile per hour upstream.
Let x represent the canoe's speed with no water current (in still water) and y represent the speed of the water current, in miles per hour. Then the situation can be represented by this system of equations:
x+y=7
x-y=1
Choose the two correct options.
A. The speed of the canoe in still water is 3 miles per hour.
B. The speed of the water current is 4 miles per hour.
C. The speed of the canoe in still water is 4 miles per hour.
D. The speed of the water current is 3 miles per hour.
