A motor boat can go 2 miles downstream on a river in 3 minutes it takes 15 minutes for the boat to go upstream the same 2 miles find the speed of the current?
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
