The river boat Delta Dunchess paddled upstream at 12km/h, stopped for 2h of sightseeing, and....?
hi,
36 km
since 2 of 7 hours sightseeing, boat moved 5 hours. since distance/rate = time then:
..x......x
---.+.--- = 5
12...18
multiply every term 36 eliminate fractions.
36x...36x
---.+.--- = 36(5)
12...18
3x + 2x = 180
5x = 180
x = 36 boat went 36 km each way on trip.
hope helps!! :-)
