Your average speed must be at least five (5) miles per hour.
To find out how long it took Bob to travel 605 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour, you can use the formula: time = distance / speed. Plugging in the numbers, time = 605 miles / 55 miles per hour, which equals 11 hours. Therefore, it took Bob 11 hours to complete his trip.
Running a mile in exactly 4 minutes equates to a speed of 15 MPH.
There cannot be any such fraction. If there was a fraction, F then the average of 2 and F, (2+F)/2 would be before 2, and nearer to 2 than F. And then the average of 2 and that fraction would be before 2 and nearer still. And then the average of 2 and that fraction would be before 2 and nearer still. And so on.
5,904 miles to the nearest 100 miles = 5,900 miles

Her average speed is 1.6 miles per hour. Average speed is total distance covered by total time taken to do it. She swims 4 miles upstream, and at 1 mph, it takes 4 hours. She comes back downstream at 4 mph and so she covers the 4 miles in 1 hour. Her total mileage is 8 miles. It takes 4 + 1 hours or 5 hours to cover it. The 8 miles divided by 5 hours is 1 3/5 miles per hour, or 1.6 mph for an average speed.
The current is approximately 4 mph.
The gradient of the River Amazon is very low. It is 1,000 miles or 1,610 kilometers upstream, and 100 feet or 30 meters downstream.
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.
Speed upstream(S.u) = 20/5 => 4miles/hr Speed downstream(S.d) = 10/2 => 5miles/hr Speed of man in still water(speed of boat in still water)= 1/2 * (S.u + S.d) = 0.5 * (4 + 5) = 0.5 *9 = 4.5miles/hr The speed of man in still water is 4.5 miles/hr
assume river velocity = X mph boat velocity = 20 mph time to go 6 miles downstream = T1 time to go 3 miles upstream = T2 distance = time * velocity downstream: 6 mi = T1 * (boat velocity + river velocity) upstream: 3 mi = T2 * (boat velocity - river velocity) 6 = T1 * ( 20 + X ) 3 = T2 * ( 20 - X ) T1 * ( 20 + X ) = 2 * ( T2 * ( 20 - X ) ) since T1 = T2 then 20 + X = 40 - 2X 3X = 20 X = 6.67 thus, river velocity is 6.67mph
Boats speed = 24 miles per hour.Current speed = 4 miles per hour.

The Fortymile gold rush in 1886 was to the Fortymile River, a trans-boundary river with its headwaters in Alaska, USA and its confluence with the Yukon River in the Yukon Territory in Canada. The Fortymile River is so named because the mouth is 40 miles downstream from an old (now defunct) trading post called Fort Reliance, approximately 8 miles downstream of the present site of Dawson City. (There is also a Sixtymile River, which is about 60 miles upstream of Fort Reliance.)
