A tugboat goes 160 miles per hour in 10 hours. the return trip downstream takes 5 hours. Find the speed of the tugboat without a current and the speed of the current.
\n" ); document.write( "The speedof the tugboat is __ mph, and the speed of the current is __.
\n" ); document.write( "Please show the work so I can impliment it with further questions.
\n" ); document.write( "=======================
\n" ); document.write( "Find the speed up & downstream
\n" ); document.write( "d = r*t
\n" ); document.write( "r = d/t
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "The boat's speed is the average of the 2 speeds.
\n" ); document.write( "=================
\n" ); document.write( "The current is the difference between the boat's speed and either speed.
\n" ); document.write( "===============
\n" ); document.write( "PS Don't enter \"The speedof the tugboat is __ mph, and the speed of the current is __.\" \n" ); document.write( "
