How do you write this problem? Two sailboats 400 meters apart are sailing toward each other. one is moving at a rate of 10m per sec and the other is moving at a rate of 15m per sec. in how many seconds will the boats pass each other?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Their closing speed is (10+15) meter/second
\n" ); document.write( "400 meters/25 meter per second = 16 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "And in how may seconds will the boats be 400 meters apart again?
\n" ); document.write( "There separation speed is also 25 meters/second
\n" ); document.write( "400 meters/25 meters /er second = 16 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "================================================
