Mura is paddling her canoe to Centre Island. The trip in one direction is 5 km. She noticed that the current was 2 km/h. While travelling to Centre island, her canoe was moving with the current. On her way back her canoe was moving against the current. The total trip took 1 hour. Determine her paddling speed (the speed we are looking for is the speed of the canoe without the effects of the current.
