while calculating speed of boat in still water we divide the distance traveled by the time taken, as in various problems related to speed

Illustration: A boat goes from point A to another point B at a distance of 30 Km in still water in 9 hours. How much time it will take to cover 25 Km in still water.

A. 5 h          B. 7.5 h          C. 15 h           D. 7 h
