Question

If a boat that travels 23 mph in Stillwater is traveling with a current that has a rate of 2 mph, how far will the boat travel in three hours

Answer 1

The boat travel 23 mph and an additional 2 mph so (23 + 2). Next problem wants to know how far will the boat travel in three hours. We can model this and solve using the following equation

d = rt
d = distance
r = rate
t = time


We are trying to find the distance
r = (23 + 2)
t = 3

d = 3(23 + 2)
d = 75
The boat will travel 75 miles in 3 hours

Answer 2

The answer is 75 miles.
