A woman rows a boat 1.75 miles upstream against a constant current in 35 minutes. She then
rows the same distance downstream (with the same current) in 15 minutes. What is the rate of
the current?

Answers

Answered by Steve
since distance = speed * time,
if the current is c and her speed is s,

35(s-c) = 1.75
15(s+c) = 1.75

Now just solve for c.
