Question 29285: A fishing boat traveled 3 hours against a 6km/hr current. The return trip took 2 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water. Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! THE FORMULA IS 3(X-6)=2(X+6) OR 3 HOURS AT A THE SPEED OF THE BOAT MINUS THE 6 KM/H CURRENT & THE 2 HOUR RETURN TRIP WAS BOAT PLUS THE 6 KM/H CURRENT
OR 3X-18=2X+12 OR X=30 KM/HR
PROOF 3(30-6)=2(30+6) OR 3X24=2X36 OR 72=72
