Answer 1

Answer:

i. The boat will travel 18.5 miles in one hour

ii. The boat will travel 9.25 miles in half an hour

iii. The boat will travel 27.75 miles in one and a half hours

Explanation:

We are given that the boat travel 37 miles in 2 hours

To get the miles traveled, we can simply use cross multiplication

i. Miles traveled by the boat in one hour:

37 miles .....................> 2 hours

x miles ........................> 1 hour

$x = \frac{37*1}{2}=18.5$ miles

ii. Miles traveled in half an hour:

37 miles .....................> 2 hours

x miles ........................> 0.5 hour

$x = \frac{37*0.5}{2}=9.25$ miles

iii. Miles traveled in an hour and a half:

37 miles .....................> 2 hours

x miles ........................> 1.5 hour

$x = \frac{37*1.5}{2}=27.75$ miles

Hope this helps :)
