Let 'F' be Frank's rowing speed,
and 'C' be the speed of the current.
Downstream:
F + C = 30 / 2 = 15 mph
Upstream:
F - C = 12 / 3 = 4 mph
Add the two equations:
2 F = 19 mph
Frank = 9.5 mph
Current = 15 - R = 5.5 mph
Check:
Subtract the two equations:
2 C = 11 mph
C = 5.5 mph yay !

Half an hour down stream one and a half hours upstream if the water is running at about 1 mile an hour.
To find how long it will take to return downstream, first determine the effective speed while rowing upstream. The current speed is 2 mph, so your effective speed upstream is your rowing speed minus the current. If it takes 3 hours to row 9 miles upstream, your rowing speed is 5 mph (since 9 miles / 3 hours = 3 mph, and 3 mph + 2 mph = 5 mph). While returning downstream, your effective speed will be 5 mph + 2 mph = 7 mph. Thus, it will take 9 miles / 7 mph = approximately 1.29 hours, or about 1 hour and 17 minutes, to return downstream.
The current speed is about 4 miles per hour.
Velocity = Distance ÷ Time.The speed upstream = 300 ÷ 5 = 60kph.The speed downstream = 300 ÷ 2 = 150 kph.The speed upstream equals boat velocity(Vb) minus current velocity(Vc).The speed downstream equals boat velocity (Vb) pluscurrent velocity (Vc).Vb - Vc = 60Vb + Vc = 150 : Adding the two equations together gives :-2Vb = 210 : Vb = 105, therefore Vc = 45The rate of the boat in still water is 105 kph. The rate of the current is 45 kph.
15 miles
To do this, you need to form equations using the information given. There are 2 variables here, the base speed of the rower with no current (x), and the speed of the current (y). Firstly, convert the distances and times given into average speeds. 20km/2 hours = 10km/h 4km/2 hours = 2km/h The actual speed = the base speed +- the current, depending on direction. So 10 = x + y 2 = x - y If we subtract these 2 equations to eliminate x, we get: 8 = 2y y = 4km/h
Let speed of stream = y kmph & speed of boat = x kmphspeed downstram((x + y)kmph) = 8 * 60 / 40 kmph= 12 kmphspeed upstream((x - y) kmph) = 8/1 kmph= 8 kmphx + y = 12x - y = 8--------------2x = 20,2y = 4x = 10,y = 2=>Speed of stream = 2 kmph, Speed of boat = 10 kmp
