The distance of the boat upstream is mathematically given as 20 miles per hour

How far does the boat travel upstream?

Generally, the equation for the speed that was traveled upstream is  mathematically given as

5x = 2.5(x + 4)

5x = 2.5x+ 10

5x - 2.5x = 10

x = 4

In conclusion, the following equation may be used to determine the distance that the boat traveled upstream as a result.

d= 5 × 4

d= 20 miles per hour
