A boat travels 28 miles per hour.

At this rate, how long will it take for the boat to travel 98 miles?

Answer:

It would take the boat 3 hours and 22 minutes to travel 98 miles (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

28 miles an hour

98 miles (total)

28 miles+ 28 miles + 28 miles =  84 miles (3 hours)

In order to reach your destination you need to go 10 more miles.

So you need to figure out how many miles you go a hour.

[tex]\frac{28 miles}{60 minutes}[/tex]

≈0.47 miles a minute

so,

0.47/10 = 21.30

Which means that in order to complete the last remaining 10 miles, you would need about 22 more minutes, or to be more exact 21 minutes and a few seconds, but its easier to round.

It would take the boat 3 hours and 22 minutes to travel 98 miles (rounded)

It would take the boat 3 hours and 21.30 minutes to travel 98 miles (not rounded)
