Answer: 10 hrs

Explanation: v = d/t
v = speed
d = distance
t = time
(physics equation but it works here as well)

First, find speed of boat.
1. v = d/t
2. v = 413/9
3. v = 45.9mph

Last, find time it’ll take for boat to travel 462 miles at 45.9mph.
1. v = d/t
2. 45.9 = 462/t (multiply time “t” on both sides)
3. 45.9t = 462 (divide both sides by 45.9)
4. t = 10hrs

Therefore it’ll take 10 hours for boat to travel 462 miles at 45.9mph. Hope this helps :)
