Question
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 a speed of about 20 km in one hour.
How far would the motorboats go in three and a half hours?

Solution
In 1 hour the boat goes 20 km.
Hence, in 3 hours the boat will go
= 3 × 20 = 60 km
And in `1/2` hour the boat will go
= `20/2` = 10 km
So, in 3 and a half-hour, the boat will go
= 60 + 10
= 70 km
