Question 818068: Two ships are headed toward each other. They are 600 miles apart. The eastward ship is travelling at 10 mph. The westward ship is travelling at 12 mph. If the winds do not interfere with the progress of either ship, about how long will it be before they meet? Answer by mananth(16949) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! t= d/r
d= 600
r= 10 +12 =22 mph since they are moving towards each other.
t= 600/22
=27.27 hours
