Answer:
The Multiplication equation to find the number of hours taken to travel the distance is [tex]5.5\times x=82.5[/tex].
It will taken 15 hours by Russian ice breaker to travel a distance of 82.5 km through the ice.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Thickness of the ice = 2.3 m
Speed while moving forward = 5.5 km/h
Distance to travel through the ice = 82.5 km
We need to write and solve the multiplication equation to find the number of hours taken to travel the distance.
Solution:
Let the number of hours taken to travel the distance be 'x'.
Now We know that;
By Distance formula;
Distance traveled is equal to Speed while moving forward multiplied by the number of hours taken to travel the distance.
framing in equation form we get;
[tex]5.5\times x=82.5[/tex]
Hence The Multiplication equation to find the number of hours taken to travel the distance is [tex]5.5\times x=82.5[/tex]
On Solving above equation we get;
Dividing both side by 5.5 we get;
[tex]\frac{5.5x}{5.5}=\frac{82.5}{5.5}\\\\x=15 \ hrs[/tex]
Hence It will taken 15 hours by Russian ice breaker to travel a distance of 82.5 km through the ice.
