Carlos is going on a boat tour. The boat will travel a total distance of 20 kilometers during the 5 dash hour tour. If the boat travels at a constant speed during the tour, what distance in kilometers should the boat travel in 2 hours?

Total distance travelled in 2 hours is 8kilometres.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find the speed of the boat that travel 20km for 5hr. Using the formula, speed = distance/time:

S = D/T

D = 20km

T = 5 hours

S = 20/5

= 4km/hr

We know that the boat travel at a constant speed during the tour so niw, we have to find the distance travelled during first 2 hours. Using the formula, D = S*T:

S = 4km/hr

T = 2hr

D = 4*2

= 8km

If the boat is traveling at a constant speed for 5 hours and goes 20 kilometers, the boat would have been going 4 kilometers/hour.

Now you can take the kilometers/hour and multiply by 2 to see the distance traveled in 2 hours.

5 : 20 = 4

4 * 2 = 8

The distance traveled in two hours is 8 kilometers.
