Answer 1

The round trip took 1 hour and 55 minutes, including 46 minutes for the train journey and 1 hour and 9 minutes for the boat journey.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the round trip time, we need to find the time taken by the train and the boat individually. Let's start with Abdul's journey to the amusement park:

Distance = 23 miles

Speed of train = Speed of boat + 10 mph

= 20 + 10

= 30 mph

Time taken by Abdul's train journey = Distance / Speed

= 23 / 30

= 0.7667 hours

= 46 minutes (approximately)

Now, let's calculate the time for Abdul's boat journey back:

Speed of boat = 20 mph

Time taken by Abdul's boat journey = Distance / Speed

= 23 / 20

= 1.15 hours

= 1 hour and 9 minutes (approximately)

The round trip time is the sum of Abdul's train and boat journey time:

Round trip time = Time taken by train journey + Time taken by boat journey

= 46 minutes + 1 hour and 9 minutes

= 1 hour and 55 minutes.
