The connecticut river flows at a rate of 4 km/hr for the length of a popular science route. in order for a cruiser to travel 60 km upriver anf then return in a total of 8 hr. , how fast must the boat be able to travel in still water?

Aboat has a speed of 9 mph in calm water. it takes the boat 4 hours to travel upstream but only 2 hours to travel the same distance downstream. which equation can be used to find c, the speed of the current? 2(9 – c) = 4(9 + c) 9 + c = 4(9 – c) 9 – c = 2(9 + c) 4(9 – c) = 2(9 + c)
