Answer:

54 miles

Explanation:

Just divide the 27 miles to the half hour and you will see how many miles the boat travelled. In 27 miles in 2 hours is 13.5 miles so we figured out what we get in two hour so to find out for the half an hour you do the same thing

Answer:

6.75 miles.

Explanation:

1/2 is 1/4 of 2 hours, so you'd take 1/4 of 27 (which is 27/4) and you would get 6.75.

If that explanation is a little difficult to understand, let me know and I will rephrase!
