a man rows his boat 85 km downstream and 45 km upstream , taking 2 1 / 2 hours each time . find the speed of the stream ?
"speed downstream = d / t = 85 / ( 2 1 / 2 ) = 34 kmph speed upstream = d / t = 45 / ( 2 1 / 2 ) = 18 kmph the speed of the stream = ( 34 - 18 ) / 2 = 8 kmph answer : d"
divide(subtract(divide(85, 2), divide(45, 2)), const_2)
