Question 758701: A ship travelled 8100km from the port. At that moment,a jet plane whose speed is 10 times the speed of ship took off from the port. After travelling how much didtance will the plane overtake the ship ? Answer by lwsshak3(11628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A ship travelled 8100km from the port. At that moment,a jet plane whose speed is 10 times the speed of ship took off from the port. After travelling how much distance will the plane overtake the ship ?
let d=distance ship traveled after plane took off
8100+d=distance plane traveled to overtake ship
x=speed of ship
10x=speed of plane
travel time=distance/speed (same for both ship and plane)
10d=8100+d
9d=8100
d=900
1800+d=9000
distance plane traveled to overtake ship=9000km
