Struggling on this physics word problems and help would be appreciated!
How much faster can a river boat make a trip from Pittsburgh to Wheeling (river distance = 294 miles) than it can the return trip? Assume the boat to travel at a constant speed of 12.00 miles per hour with respect to the water and the average current in the river to be 5.25 mph, always downstream toward Wheeling.
Thanks
