time by ocean liner -time by speeding boat= 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t=d/r
\n" ); document.write( "x/60-x/80=2
\n" ); document.write( "LCD = 240
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by LCD
\n" ); document.write( "4x-3x=240*2
\n" ); document.write( "x=480 miles\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
