Answer:

Salt water is more dense than freshwater

Explanation:

The only and best explanation for this phenomenon for this occurrence is that salt water is more dense than freshwater.

  • Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.
  • When a substance is A more dense than the other substance B, B will float on A.
  • So, the density of the salt water is higher than that of the fresh water because it has more particles per unit volume compared to fresh water.
  • Therefore, the boat will go farther into the fresh water compared to the salt water.
