it takes a boat 3 hours to travel 48 miles downstream and 4 hours to travel 40 miles upstream. What is the speed of the boat in still water?

Sagot :

The speed of the boat in still water is 3 miles per hour

Given that,

A boat travels 40 miles upstream in 4 hours and 48 miles downstream in 3 hours.

To find : The speed of the boat in still water

We use the distance formula. D = r * t

48/3 = 16 mph | Trip 1 |

40/4= 10mph | Trip 2 |

16-10 = 6 mph difference traveling upstream or downstream. Thus the speed of the current is 3 miles per hour.

Therefore, The speed of the boat in still water is 3 miles per hour.
