Question

A boat travels 336 miles in 67

hours (with a constant speed).
How far can it travel in 58 hours
(with the same speed)?

Answer 1

290.87 miles

Explanation:

336 miles - 67 hours

x miles - 58 hours

Cross multiply

67x = 336 x 58

67x = 19488.

Divide both sides by 67

x = 19488/67

x = 290.87 miles
