Answer:

Explanation:

We are given that

Cruise ship travel east across the river=19 m/minute

Total width of river=4250 m

We have to find time taken by ship to reach other side of the river.

Time taken by ship for travelling 19 m=1 minute

Time taken by ship for travelling 1 m=
(1)/(19) minute

Time taken by ship for travelling 4250 m=
(1)/(19)* 4250=223.68minutes

Hence, the time taken by ship to reach the other side=
minutes
