Answer:

3.333 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total distance is 30 miles, and boat 1 travels at 3 mph and boat 2 travels at 6 mph, and the time for both is the same. Distance is speed S times time T so

30 = D(boat 1) + D(boat 2)

30 = (S1 * T) + (S2 * T)

30 = 3T + 6T

30 = 9T

3.333 = T
