a speed boat travels 200km in 2hours 30 minutes.calculate its average speed in kilometers per hour
------------
200 km/2.5 hr = 80 km/hr
------------------------
Boats (and planes) use knots for speed, not km/hr.
80 km/hr = ~48 mph = ~42 knots.
Not "knots per hour", knots.
1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour.
