Gaston towels for 5 hours upstream and then for 4 hours Downstream speed upstream was 12 mph slower than his speed Downstream if he traveled a total of 66 miles how fast did he travel Downstream

Answer 1

5 hours upstream

4 hours downstream

upstream speed was 12 mph slower

distance total = 66 miles = upstream&downstream

boat speed = 8 mph, current speed = 6 mph

upstream speed= 2mph, downstream speed = 14 mph

upstream distance = 2(5) = 10 miles

downstream distance = 14(4) = 56 miles

10+56 = 66 miles total distance
