Ok so you know the time it takes for the sound to transverse a distance in a certain medium is $$t = \frac{d}{{v_{medium} }}$$. You really don't know the "distance" because it's not actually stated in the problem that the crash occurred immediately after the boat sound is heard but you CAN determine the ratio of the time sound waves take to reach each person using the equation.
