An oil spill covers 4 square kilometers in 1/4 of an hour At this rate how many square kilometers will it cover in 2 hours

Answer 1

To find the rate of coverage in square kilometers per hour, we need to first calculate the rate of coverage in square kilometers per 1/4 hour.

The oil spill covers 4 square kilometers in 1/4 hour, so in 1 hour (4 * 4) = <<4*4=16>>16 square kilometers will be covered.

Therefore, in 2 hours, the oil spill will cover 16 * 2 = <<16*2=32>>32 square kilometers.
