Question

On a particular day, the wind added 2 miles per hour to Jaime's rate when she was rowing with the wind and subtracted 2 miles per hour from her rate on her return trip. Jaime found that in the same amount of time she could row 42 miles with the wind, she could go only 34 miles against the wind. What is her normal rowing speed with no wind

Answer 1

Take 42-2 = 40 and 34+2 = 36 so Jaime's normal rowing speed was 36 miles
