Question 972840: a boat travelling upstream goes 120 miles in 6 hours. If the return trip takes 4 hours what is speed in miles per hour of the boat in still water? Answer by anand429(138) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let speed of boat in still water = x
and speed of stream = y
Speed upstream = mph
Speed downstream = mph
So adding both equations,
=> mph
