Question

A boat flowing in water at the speed of 18km/hours. what is the speed of boat at m/s

Answer 1

Heya,

[First convert 18km in m]

Distance = 18 × 1000 = 18000m

[Then convert 1 hour into seconds]

Time = 1 = 60 mins = 3600 seconds

Speed = Distance/time

[Substitute to values]

=> Speed = 18000/3600

=> Speed = 180/36

=> Speed = 20/4

=> Speed = 5m/s

Hope my answer helps you :)

Answer 2

Hey there,

Your answer.

-》Given, a boat flowing in water at the speed of 18 km/hour.

-》So, What is the speed of boat in m/s?

-》So, First, we have to change km in m and hour in second.

-》As, we know that 1 km = 1000 m, so 18 km = 18000 m.

-》And, we know that 1 hour = 3600 second

-》Then, Speed = Distance/Time

-》Speed = 18000/3600

-》Speed = 5 m/s
