Question

a boat travels 252 miles in 13 hours (with a constant speed) How much time will it take traveling 279 miles?

Answer 1

Answer: 14.4 h

The speed is : $v=\frac{d}{t} =\frac{252}{13} =19.46$ $miles/h$

The time it takes to travel 279 miles :

$t'=\frac{d}{v} =\frac{279}{19.46} =14.4 hours$
