Question 523741: A speeding boat traveled a distance of X km at a constant speed of 80km/h. An ocean liner traveled the same distance in 60km/h. If the difference in time was 2 hours, calculate X Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! time by ocean liner -time by speeding boat= 2
t=d/r
x/60-x/80=2
LCD = 240
multiply by LCD
4x-3x=240*2
x=480 miles
