A Leisure Time Cruise riverboat travels 46 km downstream in

A Leisure Time Cruise riverboat travels 46 km downstream in 2 hr. It travels 51 km upstream in 3 hr. Find the speed of the boat and the speed of the plane.

Solution

speed * time =distance
also written as r*t=d
We know the time and the distance
Surely, if I told you that I went 60 miles in one hour you would say that I went 60 mph.
x*1=60
x=60
or if I told you that I went 120 miles in 2 hours you would know I went 60 mph.
x*2=120
x=60 again
But something is wrong with your problem.
It says\"Find the speed of the boat and the speed of the plane. \"
There is no plane mentioned.
r*2=46
r=? You can solve this!
and the other
r*3=51
r=51/3=?
so it should current not plane the current is 3
20+3=23
20-3=17
