Downstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles 
time = 2 hours 
rate = 12/2 = 6 mph
----------------
Upstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles 
time = 4 hrs 
rate = 12/4 = 3 mph
----
Equations:
Downstream: b + c = 6
Upstream::: b - c = 3
------
Add to get:
2b = 9
b = 4.5 mph (speed of the boat in still water.)
-----
Solve for "c":
b + c = 6
4.5 + c = 6
c = 1.5 mph (speed of the current)
The answer is 1.5 mph
