speed=distance/time
upstream speed=v-c
downstream speed= v+c
Upstream data:
d=320, t=10 h
speed=320/10=32
Downstream data: d=320 miles, t=5h
speed=320/5
=64 mph
With the above we get the following equations:
v-c=32
v+c=64
solving the above simultaneous equation we get:
2v=96
v=96/2
v=48 mph
c=48-32=16 mph
thus the speed of the current is 16 mph
