You can put this solution on YOUR website! if a boat travels 8mph how far can it go in one hour in clam water
:
I am not sure if clams would affect the speed of the boat or not, they are really quite sedentary creatures, not prone to changing anything around them
Therefore, I am going out on a limb and say at 8 mph you would travel 8 mi in 1 hr
It depends on how many clams are in the water!
Yes, I know that was a typo. You meant "calm" not "clam"
but it was a funny typo anyway!
Seriously though, you did not state the rate of the current
of the water. Wasn't that given?
If a boat travels 8mph then it can go 8 miles in one hour.
I don't think that's what you meant. Read the problem again
and copy it exactly.
