Question 964289: A motorboat travels 58km in 2 hours going upstream. It travels 94km going downstream in the same amount of time. What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The average of the speeds up and downstream is the boat's "water speed."
The current is the difference between water speed and land speed.
