Mathematics · Speed, Time and Distance
A man rowing upstream in a river accidentally dropped his hat into the water. After travelling a further distance of 3x upstream, he noticed his loss and immediately turned back downstream to retrieve his hat. He caught up with his floating hat after it had covered a distance of 2x. If the speed of the stream is a percentage of the man's rowing speed in still water, find that percentage value.
