And oil spell covers for square kilometers in 1/4 of an hour. At this rate, how many square kilometers will it cover in two hours?
To find out how many square kilometers the oil spill will cover in 2 hours, we can multiply the rate of coverage by the total time.
First, we need to find the number of 1/4 hour increments in 2 hours. There are 2 x 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 quarters in 2 hours.
Next, we can multiply the number of quarters in 2 hours by the rate of coverage per quarter. This will give us the total coverage in 2 hours.
Coverage in 2 hours = 8 x (square kilometers per 1/4 hour)
Therefore, the oil spill will cover 8 times the number of square kilometers it covers in 1/4 of an hour in 2 hours.
