Given:
A boat moving at a constant rate will travel 26 miles in 2 hours.
To find:
The distance that will the boat travel in 5 hours.
Solution:
It is given that,
The distance traveled by the boat in 2 hours = 26 miles
The distance traveled by the boat in 1 hour = [tex]\dfrac{26}{2}[/tex] miles
= [tex]13[/tex] miles
The distance traveled by the boat in 5 hour = [tex]5\times 13[/tex] miles
= [tex]65[/tex] miles
Therefore, the boat will travel 65 miles in 5 hours.
