The speed of a stream is 4mph. if a boat travels 92 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 46 miles upstream, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

12 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat in still water be "x"

and speed of current be "c"

So, downstream rate would be "x + c"

And, upstream rate would be "x - c"

Now, given c = 4

We can use the distance formula, D = RT, where

D is distance, R is rate, and T is time

to solve this.

Downstream:

D = RT

92 = (x+4)(t)

Upstream:

D = RT

46 = (x-4)(t)

Both the times are same, we can equate both the times. Lets simplify first:

t = 92/(x+4)

and

t = 46/(x-4)

Equate:

Now, cross multiply and solve for x to get our

Speed of Boat (in still water) = 12 mph

12cm

the answer is d

$15 each
