Answer:

Well I will do it this way..A boat can travel 225 miles in the same time that a plane can fly 375 miles. The boat travels 60 miles per hour slower than the plane. So it is obvious that the boat is slower in general.

Explanation:

But since this is math wise and not statistic wise I will say 13 times as fast.
