Question
A man rows a boat a certain distance downstream in 9 hours, while it takes 18 hours to row the same distance upstream. How many hours will it take him to row four-fifths of the same distance in still water?
D=9(B+S) … (1) 
D=18(B-S) … (2) Both directions distance is equal = 9(B+S) =18(B-S) 9B+9S=18B-18S 27S=9B S: B=1:3 =>B=3S So now-
