A cruise ship travelled 84 km in 3.5 h. At this rate, how long will it take to travel 1050 km?
First, let's figure out how many km the ship travels in 1 hour.
84 / 3.5 = 24 km
It travels 24 km in 1 hour.
Next, divide: 1050 / 24 = 43.75 hours or 1 day and 19.75 hours.
Another way to do this problem is to set up a proportion and cross multiply.
84 / 3.5 = 1050 / x
84x = 3675
x = 43.75
thank ya ur oh so kind! :)
You're very welcome, Jazz. Glad I could help.
u can call me jazzayy if u want to!!!
hehehehe just kidding jazz is fine:)
To find out how long it will take the cruise ship to travel 1050 km at the given rate, we need to set up a proportion using the distance and time.
The cruise ship traveled 84 km in 3.5 hours. Let's express this as a ratio:
84 km / 3.5 h
Now, we can set up a proportion using this ratio:
84 km / 3.5 h = 1050 km / x h
Here, 'x' represents the unknown time it will take to travel 1050 km.
Now, cross-multiplying the proportion, we get:
84 km * x h = 3.5 h * 1050 km
Simplifying the right side of the equation gives us:
84x = 3.5 * 1050
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 84 to solve for 'x':
x = (3.5 * 1050) / 84
Evaluating the right side of the equation:
x ≈ 43.75
Therefore, it will take approximately 43.75 hours for the cruise ship to travel 1050 km at this rate.
