Ricky paddles his canoe at a rate of 6 miles per hour in still water. Last weekend he canoed
on Carver Creek going downstream with the current for 9 miles and then returning upstream
against the current. If the trip took him 4 hours to complete, what equation can be used to find
the speed of the current

i don’t know honestly

Answer:

3 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we already know that the speed at which he paddles is 6 miles/hour

Since his net speed while going down stream is his speed plus the current's speed, here's what we have:

NetSpeed = HisSpeed + CurrentSpeed

Replace the values we already know:

9 = 6 + x

X = 3 miles/hour
