A Nile cruise ship takes 20.8 h to go upstream from Luxor to Aswan, a distance of 242 km, and 19.2 h to make the return trip downstream. Assuming the ship's speed relative to the water is the same in both cases, calculate the speed of the current in the Nile in km/h.

A Nile cruise ship takes $20.8 \mathrm{h}$ to go upstream from Luxor to Aswan, a distance of $208 \mathrm{km},$ and $19.2 \mathrm{h}$ to make the return trip downstream. Assuming the ship's speed relative to the water is the same in both cases, calculate the speed of the current in the Nile.
