Question 273816: A cabin cruiser traveling with the current went 0 mi in 0 h. Against the current, it took 1 h to travel the same distance. Find the rate of the cabin cruiser in calm water and the rate of the current. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! b = boat speed
c = current
-----------
d = rt
0 = (b+c)*0
0 = (b-c)*1
b = c
b = 0
c = 0
-----------
After watching for 1 hour, someone called time.
There's no current and the boat is not moving.
