Answer 2

288km

Explanation:

if a boat travels 432km in 24 hours .

then

it will cover x km in 16 hours

Using Direct Proportion:

`\mathsf{x = (432 * 16)/(24) }`

`\mathsf{x = (432 * 2)/(3) }`

`\mathsf{ x = 144 * 2}`

`\boxed{ \mathsf{ \implies \: 288km}}`

hence the boat is gonna travel 288km in 16 hours
