Let in still water Naomi rows at x mph.
.
Now as the current flows at 2 mph, so we have,
Speed in upstream = (x - 2) mph
Speed in downstream = (x + 2) mph
.
Let Naomi rows for t hours while in downstream.
Then according to the given data, we have,
(x - 2)(t + 12) = 231...........(1)
And, (x + 2)t = 231.............(2)
.
Now (1) - (2) gives,
(xt - 2t + 12x - 24) - (xt + 2t) = 0
i.e. 12x - 4t - 24 = 0
i.e. 4t = 12x - 24
i.e. t = 3x - 6
.
So from (2), we have,
(x + 2)(3x - 6) = 231
i.e. 3x2 + 6x - 6x - 12 = 231
i.e. 3x2 = 231 + 12
i.e. 3x2 = 243
i.e. x2 = 243/3
i.e. x2 = 81
i.e. x2 = 92
i.e. x = 9
.
.
So Naomi rows at 9 mph
Naomi rows a boat downstream for 231 miles. The return trip upstream took 12 hours longer....
