Chapter 6.5, Problem 23PPS

To determine

To find: the distance travelled by the boat in one minute and in one minute thirty seconds.

Answer to Problem 23PPS

The distance travelled by the boat in one minute $=927.83505$ feet and in one minute thirty seconds $=1391.7525$ feet.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Boat travelled $150$ feet in $9.7$ seconds.

Calculation:

$9.7$ seconds for $150$ feet

$1$ seconds for $\frac{150}{9.7}$ feet

$1$ minute for $\frac{150}{9.7}\times 60=927.83505$ feet

$1$ minute $30$ seconds for $\frac{150}{9.7}\times 90=1391.7525$ feet

Hence,

The distance travelled by the boat in one minute $=927.83505$ feet and in one minute thirty seconds $=1391.7525$ feet.
