How would you do this algebra problem?

A barge travels along a river between Metro City and Smithport, which are 65 miles apart. The speed of the current iis 1.8 mph. If the barge can make the dowstream trip in 4.8 hours less than it can travel the upstream trip, then what is the barge's speed in still water? round your answer to one decimal place?
