Question

A tugboat goes 100 miles upstream in 10 hours. The return trip downstream takes 5 hours. find the speed of the tugboat without the current and the speed of the current.

Answer 1

100=R(10)
Rate/speed=10

Answer 2

so if the trip downstream takes 5hours then 100=rate*5 -> 20mph=rate without current

Answer 3

first trip speed with current was 10mph. Trip without current was 20mph. That means speed of current= 10mph

Answer 4

Distance= Rate or speed x Time taken
