6th Grade Itinerary Problems Using Ratios: Problem 2

Problem: The speed of the ship in still water was 9 kilometers per hour. Traveling from one end of the river to the other end and back, the amount of time spent traveling downstream to the amount of time spent traveling upstream is 1:2. Today the speed of the river current doubled than usual because of thunderstorm weather, and traveling from the first end to the other and back took a total of 10 hours.
