Rahul can travel $12 \text{ miles}$ downstream in a certain river in $6 \text{ hours}$ less than it takes him to travel the same distance upstream. But if he could double his usual rowing rate for his $24 \text{ mile}$ round trip,the downstream $12 \text{ miles}$ would take only one hour less than the upstream $12 \text{ miles}$. What is the speed of the current in $\text{miles/hour}$?
