Question

A boat was sailing for 4 hours and covered 224 miles. A jet is ten times as fast as the boat. Find the jet’s speed.

Answer 1

224/4 = 56 miles per hour
56 x 10 = 560 miles per hour

Answer 2

First, you would need to find out how many miles the boat can sail in 1 hour. To do this, you would divide the total number of miles traveled by the time it took to travel it.
224 ÷ 4 = 56
56 mi/1 h

Next, you would multiply the number of miles the boat traveled, 56, by 10.

56 x 10 = 560

The jet flew 560 mi/per hour

I hope this helps!
