Given:

Speed = 18 miles/hour

Time = 9 hours

Determine the distance.

Formula for velocity:

v = d/t

t = d/v

d = tv

v = velocity

d = distance

t = time

Solution:

Substitute the given values of t and v to the formula of v in terms of d.

d = tv

d = (18 miles/hour)(9 hours)

The unit hour cancels.

d = 162 miles

Final answer:

The distance traveled by the cruise ship is 162 miles.
