Answer:
8 to 27
Step-by-step explanation:
It’s super self explanatory it’s right there
<span>The two checkpoints are 4,920 ft. apart from each other. The total distance of the race is 15,840 ft. If checkpoint C half the distance between checkpoint B and the end of the race, the distance between Checkpoint B and the end of the race is 9,840 ft. Half of that distance is 4,920 ft.</span>
Answer:
1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
I find these easiest to work by considering the initial difference in distance and the speed at with that gap is closing.
__
The gap is 15 miles, the distance the first ship is from harbor when the second ship starts.
The rate of closure is the difference in the speeds of the two ships:
60 mph -45 mph = 15 mph
Then the closure time is ...
time = distance/speed
time = (15 mi)/(15 mi/h) = 1 h
It will take the second ship 1 hour to catch up to the first ship.
