Question

Ameena's boat travels 35 miles per hour. The best fishing spot in the lake is 27 miles away from her starting point. If she drives her boat for 2/3 of an hour, will she make it to the best fishing spot on the lake?

Answer 1

No, she will not

Find how far Ameena's boat will have traveled at two thirds of an hour.

(35 miles per hour) (2/3 of an hour)= 23.33 miles

Ameena's boat will have traveled just over 23 miles. She will not have reached the best fishing spot which will still be approximately another 4 miles away.

To find how far Ameena's boat has traveled you multiplied the speed by the time, but since time is now the unknown variable, divide the distance by the speed

27 miles divided by 35 miles per hour to get 0.77 hours

What is the conversion for hours to minutes?

0.77 = 46.2 minutes

Answer 2

Answer: No, she will not make it tot he best fishing spot on the lake.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance between the starting point and the best fishing spot = 27 miles

Speed at which Ameena drives = 35 miles per hour

Time she takes to drive her boat is given by

`(2)/(3)\text{ of an hour}`

As we know that ,

`Distance=Speed* time\\\\Distance=35* (2)/(3)\\\\Distance=(70)/(3)\\\\Distance=23.33\text{ miles}`

But we have given that the best fishing spot in the lake is 27 miles away from her starting point ,

`\text{And with this speed in }(2)/(3)\text{ of an hour he reached only }23.33 \text{ miles. }`

So,

No, she will not make it tot he best fishing spot on the lake.
