Answer:
- boat: 48 km/h
- current: 14 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
The upstream speed is ...
u = (204 km)/(6 h) = 34 km/h
The downstream speed is ...
d = (372 km)/(6 h) = 62 km/h
The speed of the boat in still water is the average of these values:
b = (34 kph +62 kph)/2 = 48 kph
The speed of the water is the difference between the boat's speed and the speed made good:
w = 48 -34 = 14 . . . km/h
The rate of the boat in still water is 48 km/h. The rate of the current is 14 km/h.
