Sam can paddle a canoe in still water at a speed of 55 meters per minute. If he paddles upstream 135 meters in 3 minutes, what is the speed of the current?
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.
