Question 711312:
Sailing in opposite directions, an aircraft carrier and a destroyer leave their base in Hawaii at 5 am. If the destroyer sails at 30mph and the aircraft at 20mph , at what time will two ships be 300 miles apart? Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! D=RT
D=30T
D=20T
300=20T+30T
300=50T
T=300/50
T=6 HOURS.
5+6=11:00am. THEY WILL BE 300 MILES APART.
