3. Suppose it takes you and a friend 3.2 hours to canoe 12 miles downstream (with the current). During the return trip, it takes you and your friend 4.8 hours to paddle upstream (against the current) to the original starting point. Find the average paddling speed in still water of you and your friend and the average speed of the current of the river. Round answers to the nearest tenth.
A. still water 2.2 mi/h; current 0.4 mi/h
B. still water: 3.1 mi/h; current: 0.6 mi/h
C. still water: 6 mi/h; current: 1.2 mi/h
D. still water: 12 mi/h; current: 9.8 mi/h
