The speed of the boat is 5 km / h. Find the speed of the boat with the current

The speed of the boat is 5 km / h. Find the speed of the boat with the current and its speed against the current if the boat’s own speed is 14 km / h.

Since the boat’s own speed is 14 km / h, and the current speed is 5 km / h, the boat is currently moving against the current. Then the current speed will be 14 – 5 = 9 km / h.

The speed of the boat downstream will be 14 + 9 = 23 km / h.

Answer: The speed of the boat is 23 km / h downstream, 5 km / h upstream.
