The correct fill in the blanks are as follows;
The longer the sailboat is, the faster it can go.
For a boat to reach the speed of 10 kilometers per hour, it needs to be at least 16 feet long.
The maximum speed that an 8-foot boat can reach is 7.1 kilometers per hour.
A 16-foot sailboat at top speed is 2 times as fast as a 4-foot sailboat at top speed.
Given;
The maximum speed that a sailboat can reach depends on the size of the boat.
The graph below shows the maximum speed, v, that a sailboat can reach as a function of its length, L.
The steps are used to solve the problem given below;
1. In the question given the maximum speed that a sailboat can reach depends on the size of the boat.
Therefore, The longer the sailboat is, the faster it can go.
The longer the sailboat is, the faster it can go.
2. In the graph a boat reaches the speed of 10 kilometers per hour, the slope of the graph at 16 feet.
For a boat to reach the speed of 10 kilometers per hour, it needs to be at least 16 feet long.
3. The maximum speed at which the 8-foot boat can reach the slope of the graph is 7.1 kilometers per hour.
The maximum speed that an 8-foot boat can reach is 7.1 kilometers per hour.
4. The top speed of a 16-foot boat is 10 kilometers per hour and of a 4-foot boat is 5 kilometers per hour.
Then, The ratio is,
[tex]= \dfrac{10}{5}\\\\= 2[/tex]
A 16-foot sailboat at top speed is 2 times as fast as a 4-foot sailboat at top speed.
