A kayaker is capable of going 3.3 miles per hour in still water. They have a trip upstream, then miles each way. In still water, it would take them 3.6363636363636 hours to do that. NOTE: This is pretty fast for a kayaker. The river, of course, has a current of c mph. Because of the current, the trip instead takes 3.7441851669755 hours. Find c. HINT: Can c be higher than k?
