Question
A rower travels 12 miles downstream in a river in 6 hours less time than it takes to travel the same distance upstream. If the rower doubles their usual rowing speed for the entire 24-mile round trip, the downstream portion would take only 1 hour less than the upstream portion. What is the speed of the river's current in miles per hour?
