Option D. 9 mi/hr downstream, 6 mi/hr upstream

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Alicia can row 6 miles downstream in the same time it takes her to row 4 miles upstream. She rows downstream 3 miles/hour faster than she rows upstream. Find Alicia’s rowing rate each way

Define the variables

Let

x -----> Alicia's rowing rate downstream in miles per hour

y ----> Alicia's rowing rate upstream in miles per hour

we know that

The rate is equal to the distance divided by the time

The time is equal to the distance divided by the rate

we have

$\frac{6}{x}=\frac{4}{y}$

4x=6y

x=1.5y -----> equation A

x=y+3 ----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

1.5y=y+3

1.5y-y=3

0.5y=3

y=6

Find the value of x

x=1.5(6)=9

therefore

Alicia's rowing rate downstream is 9 mi/h

Alicia's rowing rate upstream is 6 mi/h

step-by-step explanation: convert 5\frac{11}{12}5

to improper fraction. use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a

ac+b

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{5\times 12+11}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

5×12+11

2 simplify 5\times 125×12 to 6060

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{60+11}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

60+11

3 simplify 60+1160+11 to 7171

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

4 simplify \frac{5}{6}x

x to \frac{5x}{6}

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

5 convert 1\frac{1}{3}1

to improper fraction. use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a

ac+b

3.25+0.5x+\frac{1\times 3+1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

1×3+1

6 simplify 1\times 31×3 to 33

3.25+0.5x+\frac{3+1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

3+1

7 simplify 3+13+1 to 44

3.25+0.5x+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

8 simplify 3.25+0.5x+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}3.25+0.5x+

to \frac{13.75}{3}+\frac{4x}{3}

13.75

\frac{13.75}{3}+\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}

13.75

9 simplify \frac{13.75}{3}

13.75

to 4.5833334.583333

4.583333+\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}4.583333+

10 subtract 4.5833334.583333 from both sides

\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}-4.583333

−4.583333

11 simplify \frac{71}{12}-4.583333

−4.583333 to \frac{4}{3}

\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{4}{3}

12 multiply both sides by 33

4x=\frac{4}{3}\times 34x=

×3

13 simplify \frac{4}{3}\times 3

×3 to \frac{12}{3}

4x=\frac{12}{3}4x=

14 simplify \frac{12}{3}

to 44

4x=44x=4

15 divide both sides by 44

x=1
