In a boat race, the boats all sail the same distance. In addition to the distance covered, what information is necessary to calculate the winner? (1 point)

The wind's speed

The time each boat takes to get to the finish line

Each boat's size

The skill of each boat's crew

The time each boat takes to get to the finish line.

are you sure?

I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is the time each boat takes to get to the finish line.

The necessary information to calculate the winner in a boat race, in addition to the distance covered, is the time each boat takes to get to the finish line.

To calculate the winner in a boat race, in addition to the distance covered, you would need the time each boat takes to get to the finish line. By recording the time it takes for each boat to complete the race, you can compare the times to determine the winner. The boat with the fastest time will be the winner. Other factors such as the wind's speed, each boat's size, and the skill of each boat's crew might have some influence on the race, but the primary determinant would be the time taken to cover the distance.
