A boat traveled 225 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 9 hours. The trip
back took 45 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.

Respuesta :

Answer:

30 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Downstream. In water, the direction along the stream is called downstream.

Upstream. In water, the direction against the stream is called upstream. Let the speed of a boat in still water be u km/hr and the speed of the stream be v km/hr, then. Speed downstream = (u + v) km/hr. Speed upstream = (u - v) km/hr
