Answer:

The distance between the docks & island is 44.07 km.

Explanation:

Speed of the boat S = 3.4 knot = 6.3
(km)/(hr)

Time taken by bot to reach the island = 7 hr

We know that the distance is given by

Distance = Speed × Time

Put all the values in above equation we get

D = 6.3 × 7

D = 44.07 km

Therefore the distance between the docks & island is 44.07 km.
