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.
