Question

If a boat travels $125$ km in $2\frac{1}{2}$ hours, how far will it travel in $12$ hours

Answer 1

Boat travels $125$km is $2\frac{1}{2}$hrs

Speed of boat $=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{125}{2\frac{1}{2}}$km/hr

$=\frac{125\times 2}{5}$ km/hr

Speed of boat$=50$ km/hr

Distance it travels in $12$hrs$=$speed$\times$time

$=50\times 12$

$=600$km

$\therefore$ The boat travels $600$km in $12$hrs.
