Sorry, it's driving me crazy. Can anyone help with below. The equations I came up with don't seem to be right.

Thanks, Joanna ___________________________________________

Boat can travel 5 times speed of current. It can travel 375 miles downriver in 1 hour more than it takes to travel 225 miles upriver. What is speed of boat in still water?

r = speed of current t = time

375 = 6r ( t + 1) 275 = 4r (t)
