A boat in distress, 21 nautical miles from a marina, travels toward the
marina at 3 knots (nautical miles per hour). A coast guard cruiser leaves
the marina and travels toward the boat at 25 knots. How long will it take
for the boats to reach each other?

Since they are going toward each other the relative speed is; 3 + 25 = 28 knots
hence; (dist/speed = time)
= hr which is 45 minutes
