Asked by Kitty
A canoe in still water travels at a rate of 12 miles per hour. The current today is traveling at a rate of 2 miles per hour. If it took an extra hour to travel upstream, how far was the trip one way?

since time = distance/speed,
d/(12-2) = d/(12+2) + 1
d = 35 miles
check:
35/10 = 3.5
35/14 = 2.5
d/(12-2) = d/(12+2) + 1
d = 35 miles
check:
35/10 = 3.5
35/14 = 2.5
