A boat on a river travels between two points, 50 miles apart, in one hour. The return trip against the current takes 2 1/2 hours.

A boat on a river travels between two points, 50 miles apart, in one hour. The return trip against the current takes 2 1/2 hours.


  1. What is the boat's speed in still water?
  2. How fast does the current in the river flow?


Thank you. Been stuck on this one for a while.
