People do not move boats up a river against the current because the boat can easily capsize.

It takes a motor boat 3 hours to make a downstream trip with a current of 7 miles per hour the return trip against the same current took 5 hours find the speed of the boat in still water?
Since the distance downstream (with the current) equals the distance upstream (against the current), and if we: Let B stand for the speed (rate in mph) of the boat in still water, and using the formula rate X time = distance, the equation will be: (B+7) x 3 = (B-7) x 5 3B + 21 = 5B - 35 56 = 2B B = 28 mph Traveling downstream, the current will cause the boat to go faster so the 7 mph current is added to the boat's still water speed. Traveling upsteam the current slows or decreases the boat's rate so the current's speed is subtracted from the boat's still water speed.
There is a mild current on your dive how you should begin your dive?
Always begin your dive against the current, so if you are tired or running low on air at the end of your dive you can use the current to help you get back to the boat or entry point. Of course, from the shore, this is not always possible, so budget more air if you have to to be able to stay along the bottom on the way back and avoid swimming against the current when tired.
