Question

A message in a bottle floats across the Pacific Ocean at the speed of 3.5 miles per hour. If the nearest land in the direction the bottle is floating is 371 miles away, how many hours will it take for the bottle to hit land?

Answer 1

In the title you have 375, and in the actual description you have 371... if it is 375 just replace 371 with 375.

 

 371 ÷ 3.5... punch it into your calculator and you will have your answer. Be sure to write you answer in a complete sentence to impress your teacher.
