Question

Lauren rides a jet ski for 3 hours against the current at 24 mph. Lauren rides a jet ski for 2 hours with the current at 24 mph. How fast was Lauren traveling with no current?

Answer 1

\(\huge \textbf{speed of current = 24mph }\)

Answer 2

\( \textbf{ let "x" be speed of Lauren with no current} \)
\( \textbf{since distance is same, we can set up below equation} \)

\(\huge 3*(x-24) = 2(x+24)\)

\(\textbf{solve for x}\)

\(hope\ it\ helps..\)
