cruise ship goes 15 hm/h. the fishing ship goes 19km/h in the opposite direction. find the number of hours the cruise ship needs to travel before the ships are 204 km apart.

Answer 1

To find the number of hours the cruise ship needs to travel before the ships are 204 km apart, we can set up the following equation:

15h + 19h = 204

Combining like terms, we get:

34h = 204

Dividing both sides of the equation by 34, we find:

h = 6

Therefore, the cruise ship needs to travel for 6 hours before the ships are 204 km apart.
