A boat traveled at a constant speed for 2 hours, covering a total distance of 10.9 kilometers. How fast was it going?

Question

kilometers per hour

Answer 1

To find the speed of the boat in kilometers per hour, you can use the formula:

$$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$$

In this case, the distance covered is 10.9 kilometers and the time taken is 2 hours. Plugging in these values:

$$\text{Speed}=\frac{10.9\text{ km}}{2\text{ hours}}=5.45\text{ km/h}$$

So, the boat was traveling at a speed of 5.45 kilometers per hour.
