Question 349531: Two boats leave the dock at the same time going in the same direction.
The first boat travels at 35 mph. If the boats are 5 miles apart after 10 hours what is the speed of the second boat? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Boat A 35 mph
After 10 hours boat A travels 35*10 = 350 miles.
..
the difference between them after 10 hours = 5 miles.
SO either the boat B will be 355 miles or 345 miles from starting point.
Since we do not know which one is faster
..
speed of B = 345/10 OR 355/10
speed = 34.5 mph OR 35.5 mph
