Kevin and Daniel were rowing their boat along the River Trent. In the morning they managed to row upstream at an average speed of 2 miles per hour. They then stopped for a spot of lunch and a nice rest. In the afternoon, the pace was a little easier as they were now rowing downstream, and managed an average speed of 4 miles an hour. The morning trip took them 3 hours longer than the afternoon. How far did they row upstream? Answer: 12 miles. Explanation: In the morning, rowing at 2 miles per hour, they rowed for 6 hours. In the afternoon, rowing at 4 miles per hour, they rowed for 3 hours. If we assume the distance the rowed upstream to be D miles, we know the morning took (D ÷ 2) hours, and the afternoon took (D ÷ 4) hours, with a difference of 3 hours. So:   (D/2) - (D/4) = 3   4D - 2D = 24 So:   2D = 24 And:   D = 12 miles. They rowed 12 miles upstream.
