A boat travels (36) km downstream in (3) hours and (24) km upstream in (3) hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (10) km/h
Downstream speed is (12) and upstream speed is (8), so (b+s=12), (b-s=8). In exams, first find speeds from distance and time.
