The current is approximately 4 mph.
It does not. Actually it does. I'm in 6th grade and learning about that.The Nile flows upstream because of gravity. The majority of the Nile runs south to north because of gravity. However, there are also parts of the river that run north to south, ex. about 200 miles in Sudan. At no point, however, can the river run upstream. Upstream by definition is opposite the flow of the river (Merriam-Webster).
Boats speed = 24 miles per hour.Current speed = 4 miles per hour.
The current speed is about 4 miles per hour.
about 60

2 miles per second upstream relative to the river bank.Note: This is quite a scenario, even for experienced rapids-shooters.That river is flowing at 28,800 miles per hour, and the guy is paddlinghis kayak through the water at 36,000 miles per hour. The whole sceneis definitely poised to launch itself into solar orbit.
Let boat speed = X and current speed = Y Downstream speed = boat speed plus current speed = X + Y Upstream speed = boat speed minus current speed = X -Y Downstream speed = 2 miles divided by 3 minutes = 2/3 miles per minute Upstream speed = 2 miles divided by 15 minutes = 2/15 miles per minute X + Y = 2/3 X - Y = 2/15 add equations 2X = 2/3 + 2/15 = 10/15 + 2/15 = 12/15 = 4/5 divide by 2 X = 4/10 = 2/5 use second equation and find Y as X -Y = 2/15 2/5 - Y = 2/15 6/15 - Y = 2/15 Y = 4/15 = current speed = 0.266 miles per minute
In the Andes Mountains of Peru about 3900 miles upstream from its entry into the Pacific Ocean.
2 Miles An Hour.
The fire limestone came from Tura, about 8 miles away on the east side of the nile. The granite came from Aswan,around 600 miles upstream. A lot of the rocks came from the plateu.
