Sagot :

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.
