Q. If a boat sails

120

miles in

3

hours, how many miles will it sail in

7

hours?

[?]

miles

Identify Rate: Identify the rate at which the boat sails. $\newline$ The boat sails $120$ miles in $3$ hours. To find the rate, we divide the distance by the time. $\newline$ Rate = Distance ÷ Time $\newline$ Rate = $120$ miles ÷ $3$ hours $\newline$ Rate = $40$ miles per hour
Calculate Distance: Calculate the distance the boat will sail in $7$ hours. $\newline$ Now that we know the boat sails at a rate of $40$ miles per hour, we can calculate how far it will sail in $7$ hours by multiplying the rate by the time. $\newline$ $\text{Distance} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}$ $\newline$ $\text{Distance} = 40$ miles/hour $\times 7$ hours $\newline$ $\text{Distance} = 280$ miles
