Speed of the boat against the current 12.3 km / h; own speed of the boat is 14.1. How far will the boat go downstream?

First, we need to calculate the speed of the current. To do this, subtract the speed of the boat against the current from the boat’s own speed.

1) 14.1 km / h – 12.3 km / h = 1.8 km / h – is the current speed.

Then we conclude that in just one hour the boat will cover 14.1 kilometers by itself, and even the distance that will help it swim the current, that is, another 1.8 kilometers. Hence:

2) 14.1 km / h + 1.8 km / h = 15.9 km / h – the distance that the boat will travel behind the current.

Result: the boat will overcome 15.9 km / h.
