let v=the velocity of the boat relative to the ground
let x=the distance covered on the ground by the boat during time t
let vb= the velocity of the boat relative to the water
let vr=the velocity of the water.
then
v=x/t
and v= the velocity of the boat and the water, since they are both in the same direction.
So v=vb+vr
and the distance covered relative to the ground would be:
x=(vb+vr)*t
