The minimum time necessary for crossing the river is 0.125 hours

Explanation:

Given:

Width of the river=1.5km

Speed of the river stream=5.0km/hr

Speed of the boat=12km/hr

To find:

The minimum time taken for the hunter to cross the road=?

Solution:

We know  

Distance=the width of the river is the distance

Speed= speed of the small steam boat

Substituting the values in the equation we get
