Solving a Rate Problem Example The speed of Lazy River’s current is 5 mph. A boat travels 20 miles downstream in the same time as traveling 10 miles upstream. Find the speed of the boat in still water. 1. ) Understand Read and reread the problem. By using the formula d=rt, we can rewrite the formula to find that t = d/r. We note that the rate of the boat downstream would be the rate in still water + the water current and the rate of the boat upstream would be the rate in still water – the water current. Distance rate time = d/r Down 20 r + 5 20/(r + 5) Up 10 r– 5 10/(r – 5) Continued Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 82
