a man rowed 3 miles upstream in 90 minutes. if the river flowed with a current of 12 miles per hour, how long did the mans return trip take?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it took 15 minutes. I am just not sure if I undestood the question correctly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On the way back there is a current that is propelling him faster?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 miles per hour can be written as 12:60 and can then be reduced per mile which is 1:5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So on the way back every mile takes five minutes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHHH ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it asked for the time

OpenStudy (anonymous):
