A boat travels upstream at 60 km/h and downstream at 80 km/h. Calculate the boat's speed in still water and the velocity of the current.

Choose the correct answer

Explanation

The speed of the boat in still water is the average of upstream and downstream speeds: (60 + 80) / 2 = 70 km/h. The speed of the stream is half the difference between downstream and upstream speeds: (80 - 60) / 2 = 10 km/h.
