A boat traveled 225 miles each way downstream and back. The trip downstream took 9 hours. The trip back took 15 hours. What is t
he speed of the boat in still water? What is the speed of the current?
1 answer:
Answer:
Boat = 20 mph
Current = 5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
If b is the speed of the boat, and c is the speed of the current, then:
b + c = 225 / 9 = 25
b − c = 225 / 15 = 15
Solve the system of equations with elimination.
2b = 40
b = 20
Plug back into either equation to find the speed of the current.
c = 5
