velocity of the boat = 36miles/3 hours

divide denominator and numerator by 6 respectively

6 miles/0.5hrs

thus, the we can say that the boat will travel 6 miles in 0.5 hour

As given,

Distance traveled by a boat in 3 hours is = 36 miles

Distance traveled by the boat in 1 hour =
(36)/(3) =
12 miles

So, distance traveled by boat in 0.5 hours at the same rate =

(36)/(3)*0.5 = 6 miles or
12*0.5=6 miles

Hence, the boat will travel 6 miles in 0.5 hours.
