Question 362492: Two ships are 1550miles apart and sailing toward each other. One sails at the rate of 85 mi/day and the other 65mi/day. How far apart will they be at the end of 9 days? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Their distance apart is decreased at the rate
of their combined speeds.
Combined speed = mi/day
They will be 200 mi apart after 9 days
