Question

This question is confusing to me so I really would like a clear explanation thank you

Answer 1

So the first hour it travels from 1-6 miles, the second hour it travels at least two miles. And the question is "draw the range of miles the boat could of traveled in the second hour". Well first of all the third hour is completely useless so forget about that. Now, the first hour says it traveled from 1-6 miles, we don't know how many miles it traveled for sure but it could of traveled up to 6. So in the second hour when they say "at least two miles" the boat could of travled at least two miles more than 1-6. So 1+2+3, 2+2+4, 3+2=5, 4+2=6, 5+2=7 and 6+2=8. So the boat could of traveled from 3 to 8 miles in the second hour.
