The velocity of a boat with respect to the shore is 2 meters/second. The velocity of the water with respect to the shore is 1 meter/second. What is the distance traveled by boat after 3 minutes if the boat is traveling in the opposite direction of the water? (Hint: Find the velocity of the boat relative to the water and then use the equation distance = speed × time)
A. 400.0 meters
B. 311.7 meters
C. 300.5 meters
D. 100.2 meters
E. 521.2 meters
