Answer:

84 miles in 12 hour

Answer 2

Answer:

84 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the rate of miles travel per hour.  It is given that the boat covers 28 miles in 4 hours. Simply divide 28 with 4:

28/4 = 7

The boat covers 7 miles per hour.

Now, multiply 12 hours with 7:

12 hours x 7 miles per hour = 84 miles per 12 hours.

84 miles is your answer.
