Question

At 5 p.m two ships started sailing toward each other from ports which were 300 miles apart at average rates of 20 and 25 miles per hour. At what time were the ships still 30 miles apart?

Answer 1

so, like maybe they were 270 miles apart and collided at x pm :)

they approach each other at 45 miles/hr

270 miles/45 miles/hr = 6 hours

6+5 = 11 pm

Answer 2

THANK! You are awesome.
