If a boat traveled 210 miles downstream and back The trip down took 10 hours and back took 70 hours what is the boat speed in still water what is the speed of the current?
Downstream speed was 105/10 or 10.5 mph. Upstream was 105/70 or 1.5 mph, so assuming steady motor power and current speed, the current would be flowing at 9 mph.
