Answer:

  • 2 2/9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

20/9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: I'm assuming 'upstream' means against the current.

If the boat flows against the current, it's speed is 13 - 4 = 9 mph.

[tex]\frac{20m}{9mph} =\frac{20}{9} hours[/tex]

That means our answer is 20/9 hours.

If it is travelling with the current, its speed is 13 + 4 = 17 mph.

Therefore, 20/17 would be our answer if that were the case
