A sailboat traveled 30 miles in 2.5 hours at the same speed, how far can the boat sail in in another 4.5 hours?
30 miles/2.5 hours = 12 miles/hour
12 miles/hour * 4.5 hours = 54 miles
36
Vivian's solution is correct
James earned 334 for working a 40- hour week. How much will he earn in a week in which he works only 32 hours? I got 294.0?
259.0
334/32 82x32 259.2
To determine how far the boat can sail in another 4.5 hours, we first need to find the boat's speed.
The formula to calculate speed is: speed = distance ÷ time.
In this case, we have the distance (30 miles) and the time (2.5 hours). Using the formula, we can calculate the speed:
speed = 30 miles ÷ 2.5 hours
speed = 12 miles per hour
Now that we know the speed, we can calculate how far the boat can sail in another 4.5 hours.
distance = speed × time
distance = 12 miles per hour × 4.5 hours
distance = 54 miles
Therefore, the boat can sail another 54 miles in 4.5 hours at the same speed.
