Assuming
to be the speed of the boat in still water and
to be the speed of the water.
The speeds of the boat add up when the boat and water travel in the same direction.


And the speed of the water is subtracted from the speed of the boat when the boat is moving upstream.

Adding the two equations to get:

+ 
___________________________

Solving this equation for
and substituting the given values for
:




Therefore, the speed of the boat in still water is 6.125 miles/hour.
