If we assume that the movement of the steamer is uniform, then the distance traveled by it is calculated by the formula:
S = V * t, where S is the distance covered by the first steamer (km), V is the speed of the steamer (V = 8 km / h), t is the time of the steamer’s movement (t = 5 h).
Let’s calculate the distance covered by the steamer:
S = V * t = 8 * 5 = 40 km.
Answer: The first steamer could sail 40 km.
