- About how much fish in all will each type of boat bring in seven trips?
| Type of boat | Catch of fish in one trip (in kg) |
Speed of the boat (how far it goes in one hour) |
| Log boat | 20 | 4 km per hour |
| Long tail boat | 600 | 12 km per hour |
| Motorboat | 800 | 20 km per hour |
| Machine boat | 6000 | 22 km per hour |
