28 miles upstream requires 28/7 = 4 hours.

28 miles downstream requires 28/21 = 4/3 hours, or 1 hour and 20 minutes.

How long does it take him to cover 28 miles?

Apply the distance formula:

d = rt

where

d is distance

r is rate or speed

t is time

21 = t*(r+7)  = rt+ 7t

7 = t *(r-7)   = rt - 7t

            28 = 2rt

             14 = rt

             21 = rt + 7t

             21 = 14 + 7t

               7 = 7t

                 t=1

              21 = (r+7)*1 = r+7

                r = 14

The speed of the boat is 14 mph. With the current (downstream), the speed is 14+7 = 21 mph, so 21 miles are traveled in 1 hour. Against the current (upstream), the speed is 14-7 = 7 mph, which means 7 miles are traveled in the same 1-hour time frame.

28 miles downstream requires 28/21 = 4/3 hours, or 1 hour and 20 minutes.

28 miles upstream requires 28/7 = 4 hours.
