The Kayaker

A child releases a toy boat in a stream that flows at 3 miles an hour. At that instant, a kayaker 14 miles downstream begins paddling upstream at 7 miles per hour. How long will it take him to reach the toy?

It will take 2 hours. We can ignore the speed of the stream, since it’s carrying both the kayaker and the toy. If he paddles at 7 mph, he’ll cover 14 miles in 2 hours.
