Look at the different types of boats.
Some boats have motors and go further into the sea. Since they go far out, they can catch more fish. These boats travel faster, at the speed of about 20 km in one hour.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution
Solution:-
As mentioned in the question, the motorboats travel at the speed of about 20 km in one hour.
Then the distance travelled by motor boats in three and half hours = 20 × 3.5
= 70 km
Q4Written answer
How much time will they take to go 85 km?
Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution
Solution:-
As mentioned in the question, the motorboats travel at the speed of about 20 km in one hour.
Then the distance travelled by motorboats in four hours = 20 × 4
= 80 km
The distance travelled by motorboats in ¼ hour = ¼ × 20
= 5 km
∴ the total time taken by motorboats to go a distance of 85 km = 4 hours 15 minutes.
