Problema Solution

Kellen's boat goes 12 mph. Find the rate of the current of the river if she can go 6 mi upstream in the same amount of time she can go 10 mi downstream

Answer provided by our tutors

We just set the rate of the current river to X,and set the same amount of time to T.

From the title we know that we can set a equation of T.

T=Distance/Rate,so T=6/(12-X),alse T=10/(12+X).

So,6/(12-X)=10/(12+X).

in the end,we can get the answer X=3 mph。
