A raft was sent away from point A downstream. A patrol-boat left A 5 hour and 20 min later and caught up with the raft 20 km away from point A. What was the speed of the raft if the speed of the patrol-boat was 12 km/hour?
Reiny, I know you did this but it wasn't right
The answer is 3
I don't think the text is wrong, but everytime I try to plug this answer in to the system it says it is incorrect
Reiny I am sorry, I just had to round the number to 3
I plugged in this answer into the system and it is incorrect. You are wrong Reiny. I trust the system more than I trust you, sorry but it is the truth.
what is the answer though?!?
dude you guys are dumb. It is 3. omfg
This is very late, but the system counted it as wrong because it considered the speed of the downstream (and the rate of 12km per hour was, I suppose with considering the down stream). So Matt, Reiny was wrong and you are extremely immature don't understand why you take such a think to heart...
man I just came here for some wholesome math.
oml
oh god we starting an internet argument here. This problem is so annoying
Oh for goodness sake!
I proved to you that the answer is correct
What do you mean by "I try to plug this answer in to the system " ??
What system?
" it says it is incorrect"
who is this "it" ???
show me the steps, perhaps I can see your error.
This is BS- you are a dumb little student who just wants the answers to an extracurricular activity math class; you can't even understand that REINY IS 100% CORRECT
You must be referring to

I stand by my answer, I even proved at the end that it was correct.
Have you considered that the text might be wrong?
