A boat travels for 7 hours. if it travels 4 hours downstream and 3 hours upstream. ten t covers a distance of 116 km. but if it
travels 3 hours downstream and 4 hours uptream, it covers the distance of 108 km. find the speed of the boat.
1 answer:
Speed = Distance / Time
Distance = Speed*Time
For this problem, we should bear in mind that current speed has an impact on the boat speed...
for upstream, the boat goes against the current, and so its speed is
U = V - C
where V is the speed of the boat
C is the current speed
for downstream, it will be:
D = V + C
Convert the problem into mathematical equations:
4D + 3U = 116
3D + 4U = 108
4(V+C) + 3(V-C) = 116
4V + 4C + 3V -3C =116
7V + C = 116
3(V+C) + 4(V-C) = 108
3V + 3C + 4V - 4C = 108
7V - C = 108
Solving the equations:
7V + C = 116
7V - C = 108
14V = 224
V = 16km/hr —-> speed of boat
to get C:
7(16) + C = 116
C = 4km/hr
