Question 912910: Two ships are 900 miles apart and moving toward each other. one ships travels twice as fast as the other.IN 6 HOURS THE SHIPS PASS EACH OTHER. WHAT ARE THE RATE OF EACH SHIP Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! d/r = (900-d)/2r = 6
d = 6r
(900-6r)/2r = 6
900 -6r = 12r
900 = 6r
r = 150mph
150mph and 300mph are the RATEs OF the SHIPs
