Niles and Bob sailed at the same time for the same length of time. Niles' sailboat traveled 42 miles at a speed of 6 mph, while Bob's motorboat traveled 91 miles at a speed of 13 mph. For how long were Niles and Bob traveling?

Answer:

7 hours.

Explanation:

All you need to do is divide because
(distance)/(speed) = time:


(42)/(6) = 7 and
(91)/(13) = 7
