Question 30969: Two boats leave port at the same time, one heading north at 38 knots, the other south at 30 knots. How long will it take them to be 680 nautical miles apart? Answer by Paul(988) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the time be x
38(x)+30(x)=680
68=680
x=10
Hence, it will take 10 hours for them to be 680 miles apart.
