Question 37855: A ship travels the 200 mile route from kearney to Omaha at an average rate of 40 miles per hour. The ship reaches Omaha at 1 p.m. What time did it leave Fort Kearney? (Assume the ship did not cross any time zones.)
Dont ask me I have no clue our teacher never taught us how to work these questions out....Sorry Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Just remember distance = rate times time.
If the distance is 200 miles and the rate is 40 mph, we have
200 = 40t
Thus t = 5 hours.
If it reaches Omaha at 1 pm, it must have left 5 hours earlier, at 8 am.
