Date_______

You are on a fishing expedition in the Caribbean. You ask the captain how fast the yacht is moving. He replies, “10 knots”. You scratch your head and ask, “What is that in miles per hour?” The captain looks at him with a disgusted look and says, “Figure it out yourself – 1 knot is equal to 2 kilometers per hour.”

You also remember from high school that one mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers.

Doing some quick math, you figure out that the boat is moving at __________ mi/hr.
