Question 547938: Ok i am not understanding this question . A sightseeing boat makes 4 trips each day. It travels 9 miles on each trip. How many miles does it travel in 6 days ? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the boat makes 4 trips/day
( 4 trips/day ) x ( 9 mi/trip ) = 36 mi/day
( 9 mi/day )x ( 6 days ) = 54 mi
-------------------------
can you see how the units cancel?
( trips/day ) x ( mi/trip ) = mi/day
Notice how the trips cancel
