A man rows a boat at a speed of 20 km/h in still water. If the current flows at 6 km/h, how long will it take him to travel 60 km downstream?

Choose the correct answer

Explanation

The effective speed while moving downstream is the sum of the boat's speed and the stream's speed: 20 + 6 = 26 km/h. Therefore, the time to cover 60 km downstream is distance divided by speed, which is 60 ÷ 26 = 30/13 hours.
