How much time is required for the crossing

Reference no: EM13713475

Problem: Harry is on a boat that is capable of a maximum speed of 10 kilometers per hour in water, and wishes to cross a river 2 kilometer wide to a point directly across from their starting point.

Part A: If the speed of the water in the river is 5 kilometers per hour, how much time is required for the crossing?

I need help to determine how much time is required for the crossing.
