The speed of the boat is 30 km / h. Will the boat manage to sail 8000 meters in 20 minutes?

From the condition, we can emphasize that the speed of the boat is in km / h, but we are asked if it is possible to swim 8000 meters in 20 minutes, so km / h should be converted to m / min.

It is known that if we need to convert km / h to m / min, then first we multiply the number by 1000, and then divide by 60, we get:

30 * 1000: 60 = 500 m / min.

We need to find out how much the boat will sail in twenty minutes, we get that:

500 * 20 = 10,000 meters.

We see that the boat will sail more than 8000 meters.

Answer: yes, it will be in time.
