The speed of the boat downstream is 23.7 km / h. Find your own speed of the boat

The speed of the boat downstream is 23.7 km / h. Find your own speed of the boat and its speed against the current, if the speed of the current is 3.8 km / h.

Given:

vpo t = 23.7 km / h

vt = 3.8 km / h

To find:

vc. -?

vprot. t. -?

Decision:

From the formula vcob. = vpo t. – vt:

1) 23.7 – 3.8 = 19.9 (km / h) – own speed of the boat.

From the formula vprot. t. = vcob. – vт:

2) 19.9 – 3.8 = 16.1 (km / h) – speed of the boat against the stream of the river.

Answer: 19.9 km / h and 16.1 km / h.
