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
How long does it takes to travel 3 miles by boat?
If the miles are nautical ones, then it takes (3)/(the boat's speed in knots) hours. If the miles are statute ones, then it takes (2.6053)/(the boat's speed in knots) hours.

Information about the speed of the car provides no information whatsoever about the speed of a boat!
How long does it take to cross 25 miles on boat?
The rate of crossing depends on the speed the boat is traveling, not on the distance it has to travel. 25 miles could probably be crossed in approximately forty-five minutes or less.

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
