Select the number of hours (be reasonable please) that your friend or family member drove the boat or jets ski against the current speed you chose in step 2.
Step 4:

Answer 1

family member will be traveling with the current).
Step 5:
Write out the word problem you created and calculate how fast your friend or family member was traveling in still water. Round your answer to the nearest mph.
