Answer:

  4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed downstream is (28 mi)/(2 h) = 14 mph.

The speed upstream is (18 mi)/(3 h) = 6 mph.

The speed of the current is half the difference of these:

  (14 mph -6 mph)/2 = 4 mph

_____

The current adds to the downstream speed and subtracts from the upstream speed, so the difference of those speeds is twice the current's speed.
