Question 59
Speed of a boat in still water is 13 km/h. Speed of water current is 4 km/h. In what time can the boat cover 68 km upstream?
Solution
Given,
Speed of a boat in still water is 13 km/h and Speed of water current is 4 km/h.
Upstream speed = Speed of a boat in still water - Speed of water current
∴ Upstream speed = 13 - 4 = 9
we know that $$Speed = \frac{Distance}{time}$$
$$9 = \frac{68}{time}$$
$$time = \frac{68}{9}$$
time = 7.55
converting 7.55 to hours, 7 hours and $${0.55}\times{60}$$ = 33 min
∴ The answer is 7hours and 33min
