Question

An ocean liner traveled 432 kilometers in 12 hours. at this rate, how many kilometers would the boat travel in 42 hours?

Answer 1

Find speed in kilometers per hour (km/hr)
432 km/ 12 hr = 36 km/hr

Multiply speed by number of hours to travel
36 km/hr x 42hr = 1512 km

Answer 2

An ocean liner traveling at an average speed of 36 km/h would cover 1512 kilometers in 42 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ocean liner traveled 432 kilometers in 12 hours. To find out how many kilometers the boat would travel in 42 hours, we calculate the liner's average speed first. We divide the distance traveled by the time taken, which gives us:

Average speed = 432 km / 12 h = 36 km/h.

Now, to find the distance traveled in 42 hours:

Distance = Average speed x Time = 36 km/h x 42 h = 1512 kilometers.

Therefore, at this rate, the ocean liner would travel 1512 kilometers in 42 hours.
