Which Boat Gets How Much?
In one trip the log boat brings about 20 kg of fish. But other types of boats bring a bigger catch as given in the table. The table also shows the speed of each type of boat, which is how far each boat goes in one hour. Look at the table and calculate ―
(a) About how much fish in all will each type of boat bring in seven trips?
(b) About how far can a motor boat go in six hours?
(c) If a long tail boat has to travel 60 km how long will it take?
