Answer: D.) 3hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

A boat can move at a constant velocity of 8 km/h; How long will it take for the boat to move 24 km

Recall:

Velocity = Displacement / time

For the boat to travel a distance of 24 km at a constant velocity of 8km /hr

Time taken = Displacement(distance moved) / velocity

Time taken = 24km / 8kmhr^-1

Tine taken = 3hrs
