A man swim at a speed of 50m/min, swims 100m against the current and 100m with the current. if the time difference between the two times is 3min 45sec. find the speed of the current?

since time = distance/speed,
100/(50-x) = 100/(50+x) + 3.75
Now just find x.
100/(50-x) = 100/(50+x) + 3.75
Now just find x.

In general, distance = rate x time
This case:
distance = (rate + current) x time
distance = (rate - current) x time
100 = (50 -c)(t)
100 = (50+c) (t + 3 3/4 minutes)
This should get you started.

You got your speeds reversed, John.
The slower speed takes longer.
The slower speed takes longer.
