Answer:

6.11km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed that Kelli swims be represented by Y

Speed of the river = 5km/hr

Distance = Speed × Time

Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour

Swimming upstream takes a negative sign, hence:

1 hour ×( Y - 5) = Distance

Distance = Y - 5

She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes

Downstream takes a positive sign

Converting 6 minutes to hour =

60 minutes = 1 hour

6 minutes =

Cross Multiply

6/60 = 1/10 hour

Hence, Distance =

1/10 × (Y + 5)

= Y/10 + 1/2

Equating both equations we have:

Y - 5 = Y/10 + 1/2

Collect like terms

Y - Y/10 = 5 + 1/2

9Y/10 = 5 1/2

9Y/ 10 = 11/2

Cross Multiply

9Y × 2 = 10 × 11

18Y = 110

Y = 110/18

Y = 6.1111111111 km/hr

Therefore, Kelli's can swim as fast as 6.11km/hr still in the water.
