Data:

Swimming against current:

Distance: d= 60miles

Time: t = 2h

swimming with the current:

Dictance: d= 60miles

Time; t = 1.5h

1. The speed against current:

[tex]v_{}=\frac{d}{t}[/tex][tex]v_{ac}=\frac{60\text{miles}}{2h}=30\frac{\text{miles}}{h}[/tex]

2. The speed with the current:

[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex][tex]v_{wc}=\frac{60miles}{1.5h}=40\frac{\text{miles}}{h}[/tex]
