Question

A slow boat to china travels at a constant speed of 17.25 miles per hour for 200 hours. how far was the voyage?​

Answer 1

3450 miles

Explanation:

Multiply the number 17.25 by 200 since the boat is traveling for 200 hours and each hour is 17.25 miles to get 3450 miles which is your answer.

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3,450 \ miles}}`

Explanation:

Distance can be found by multiply the speed by the time.

`d=st`

Where d is the distance, s is the speed, and t is the time.

1. Define Variables

The speed is 17.25 miles per hour and the time is 200 hours.

`s= 17.25 \ mi/hr`

`t= 200 \ hr`

2. Calculate Speed

Substitute the values into the formula.

`d=17.25 \ mi/hr * 200 \ hr`

Multiply. The hours (hr) will cancel each other out and leave miles as the units.

`d=17.25 \ mi *200\\`

`d=3450 \ mi`

The voyage was 3,450 miles
