The exercise fits this lesson:
Uniform Rates, Travel: same direction but different travel times meet when?
Study that lesson, found in my lessons link.
The data table, if you use one, might be like this:
______________speed_________time________distance
Cruise_________r____________t+2_________d
Container_____15_____________t__________d
-
Note that you were then given that t=8, so d can be found quickly, as well as both times.
