Write and solve an equation of ratios:
15 min 3 racks
---------- = -------------
x 36 racks
Solving this for x: 3x = (15)(36) => x = 180 minutes.
convert this into hours: 180 min 1 hr
------------ * -------------- = 3 hrs (answer)
1 60 min
According to the 55 m/min speed, in 3 minutes, he should have traveled 165 m.
Since he only went 135 m, that means the water moved against him for 30 m. That also happened in 3 min so the water is moving against him at 10m/min.
