These log boats do not go very far. If the wind is helpful, they travel about 4 km in one hour.

Q1 (2)Written answer

1. How long will they take to go a distance of 10 km?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

The log boats take one hour to travel 4 km.

Then, the log boats take two hours to travel = 2 × 4 = 8 km

But in half an hour, the log boats will travel = 4/2 = 2km

∴ the total time they take to go a distance of 10 km = 2 and half an hour.

For 2 hours of boat travel = 8 km

For ½ an hour of boat travel = 2 km

= 8 + 2 = 10 km
