Question

Carlos is going on a boat tour. The boat will travel a total distance of 35 kilometers during the 7-hour tour. If the boat travels at a constant speed during the tour, what distance in kilometers should the boat travel in 3 hours?

Answer 1

We can easily figure out how fast the boat is moving per hour.

35 km / 7 hours = 5 km/h

We now know that we are moving at a rate of 5 kilometers every 1 hour. We can now take our 5 km/h and multiply it by 3 hours to get our answer

5 km/h x 3 = 15 kilometers

Good luck!

Answer 2

Answer:

The boat travels 9 kilometers in 3 hours.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Total distance traveled boat = 35 kilometers

Time taken by boat = 7 hours

The speed of boat is constant throughout the tour

Formula:

$\text{Speed} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}\\\\= \frac{35}{7} = 5 \text{ kilometers per hour}$

We have to find the distance traveled in 3 hours.

$\text{Distance} =\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}\\= 3\times 3 = 9\text{ kilometers}$

Hence, the boat travels 9 kilometers in 3 hours.
