An oil spill covers 4 square kilometers in 14 of an hour. At this rate, how many square kilometers will it cover in 2 hours?

Answer 1

To find the rate of coverage, we can divide the area covered by the time it takes to cover it. The rate is determined by dividing 4 square kilometers by 1/14 of an hour: 4 square kilometers / (1/14 hour) = <<4/(1/14)=56>>56 square kilometers in one hour.

To find the area covered in two hours, we multiply the rate by the number of hours: 56 square kilometers/hour * 2 hours = <<56*2=112>>112 square kilometers. Answer: \boxed{112}.

Answer 2

thats not correct

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake. Let's try solving it again.

We know that the oil spill covers 4 square kilometers in 14 of an hour.

To find the rate of coverage, we can divide the area covered by the time it takes to cover it. The rate is determined by dividing 4 square kilometers by 1/14 of an hour: 4 square kilometers / (1/14 hour) = 56 square kilometers in one hour.

Now, we need to find how many square kilometers the oil spill will cover in 2 hours. We can multiply the rate by the number of hours: 56 square kilometers/hour * 2 hours = 112 square kilometers.

Therefore, the oil spill will cover 112 square kilometers in 2 hours.
