Boat A leaves the pier at 9 a.m. at 8 Knots. A half hour later, Boat B leaves the same pier in the same direction traveling at 10 knots. At what time will Boat B overtake Boat A?
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Boat A DATA::
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 8 kt/hr ; time = x hrs ; distance = 8x kts
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Boat B DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 10 kt/hr ; time = x-1/2 hrs ; distance = 10(x-(1/2)) = 10x-5
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = distance
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 10x-5
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.5 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Your Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "9:00 + 2.5 hrs = 11:30
