A boat travel straight down a river at a speed of 15 m/sec.
If the boat travels a distance of 34.1 km, how long was the boat ride?
:
Change 34.1 km to meter
34.1 * 1000 = 34,100 meters
:
Time = dist/speed
:
t = 34100%2F15 = 2273.33 seconds
Change seconds to minutes
2273%2F60 = 37.9 minute boat ride
