Marco can paddle his canoe at a rate of 6 miles per hour on unmoving water. However, today Marco is canoeing down (with the curr
ent), and then back up (against the current), a river that's moving at a rate of 1 mile per hour, so the current affects his rate of speed. If it takes Marco 6 total hours to go x miles downstream and then return to his starting point, how far downstream does he travel? A) 1.25 miles
B) 2.5 miles
C) 5 miles
D) 17.5 miles
