The distance along the river between points A and B is covered by the boat in 8 hours. Find this distance if the boat’s own speed is 8 km / h and the current speed is 2 km / h.
Since we know that the boat travels the distance along the river, downstream, between points A and B, in order to find this distance, we need the speed of the boat, add it to the speed of the current and multiply the result by the time.
Decision:
(8 + 2) × 8 = 10 × 8 = 80km.
Answer: The distance between points A and B is 80 km.
