Question 1163561
--------------------------------
 Celestine Rides her power boat up and down the Merloquet river. The water in the river flows at 6 miles per hour. Celestine then takes 5 hours longer to travel 360 miles against the current than she does to travel 360 miles along with the current. Write a model that shows how to get the speed of Celestine's boat in still water.

              SPEED         TIME          DISTANCE

AGAINST         r-6         360/(r-6)       360

WITH            r+6         360/(r+6)       360

DIFFERENCE                     5

Does this help you see what to do?
