Answer:
speed of current is 5 mile/hr
Explanation:
GIVEN DATA:
speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water
let c is speed of current
15-c is speed of boat at upstream
15+c is speed of boat at downstream
we know that
travel time=distance/speed

150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)
300=1.5(225-c^2)
300=337.5-1.5c^2
200=225-c^2
c^2=25
c = 5
so speed of current is 5 mile/hr
