Lynn is driving a jet ski. The current speed we are going is 50 mph. We drove that speed for 7 hours. We've been on this trip before, It took 4 hours and we were doing the same speed. How fast was Lynn going in still water ?

i would answer this but there are no signs of added effects such as "the current of the water has a tail wind of 13 mph" so idk which one is still water and which one is'nt, if you have anymore questions in math you can tag me and i'll see what i can do(but i might not be on even though im logged in)

There is not enough information to answer this. Maybe it was tidal water and the tide changed part way through the trip. When they did it 'before' was the current the same as the day of the question. Is the '50mph she is doing indicated by a speedometer on the jetski? or maybe shown by a GPS (one is water speed - the other is ground speed.....) Who on earth rides 350 miles non stop on a jet ski anyway? take a plane!
