You have to ask yourself “how many half hours segments are in 2 hours?” The answer is 4. Now, since you want to find out how many miles the boat can travel in half an hour, divide 27 by 4 (because there are four half hours in 2 hours). 27 divided by 4 equals 6.75. The boat travels 6.75 miles in half an hour.
