Rescuing the damsel, he rows 6 mph.
\n" ); document.write( "rate*time=distance.
\n" ); document.write( "6 mph *1 hr. =6 miles downstream with current\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x mph *3 hr. =6 miles upstream against
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 mph speed against current
\n" ); document.write( "6-2=4 mph difference in rates
\n" ); document.write( "4/2=2 mph rate of current
\n" ); document.write( "6-2=4 mph rate without current
\n" ); document.write( "4+2=6 mph with current
\n" ); document.write( "4-2=2 mph against current\r
