A motorboat heads upstream a distance of 24 miles on a river whose current is running at 3 miles per hour. The trip up and back takes 6 hours. Assuming that the motorboat maintained a constant speed relative to the water, what was its speed?

Respuesta :

To get speed you do Distance/Time.
9mph is the boat's actual speed.
12mph with the stream and 6mph against the stream.
12mph takes 2 hours to get there and 6mph takes 4 to get back = 6hours.
