Answer:

The Distance cover by boat in 2 hours and 15 minutes is 72 km  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Distance cover by boat = 128 kilometer

The time taken is 4 hours

As , Distance = Speed ×Time

So , Speed = [tex]\frac{Diastance}{Time}[/tex]

Or, Speed = [tex]\frac{128 km}{4 hours}[/tex]

∴   Speed = 32 km per hour

Now, again The boat travel 2 hours and 15 minutes further with speed 32 kmph

So, Time2 = 2 + [tex]\frac{15}{60}[/tex]

Or,  Time2 = 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

I.e Time2 = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]  hours

Again , Distance = Speed ×Time

So ,    Distance = 32kmph × [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]  hours

I.e       Distance  = [tex](\frac{32\times 9}{4})[/tex] = 72 kilometer

Hence The Distance cover by boat in 2 hours and 15 minutes is 72 km  Answer
