The speed of the motorboat travelling up stream will be 13mph, therefore it will take 20/13 hours to travel 20 miles upstream. This is about 1 and a half hours. The speed of the motorboat travelling downstream will be 17mph, therefore it will take 20/17 hours to travel 20 miles downstream. This is about 1 hour 10 minutes.
