A boat traveled 336 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 12 hours. The trip upstream took 14 hours. What is the s
peed of the boat in still water? What is the speed of the current
1 answer:
x - boat speed; y - current speed; Path = 336:2 = 168 miles
1) 12 * (x + y) = 168; -> x + y = 14;
2) 14 * (x - y) = 168; -> x - y = 12;
1) x = 14 - y;
2) (14 - y) - y = 12;
14 - 2y = 12;
2y = 2;
y = 1 mph
x = 14 - 1 = 13 mph
Answer:
Boat speed = 13 mph
Current speed = 1 mph
