Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Time taken by steamboat makes the trip=5 hours
Time taken by yacht makes the trip =2.5 hours
Since we have also given that
the yacht is 20 knots faster than the steamboat,
So let the speed of steamboat be x
Let the speed of yacht be x+20
Now, we have given that both boats will travel the same distance ,
So,

Hence,

I'm assuming there is a graph with both functions plotted. The solution would be the point at which these two functions intersect. That coordinates of x and y for that point will yield the solutions for x and y that solve the system of equations.
Step-by-step explanation:
v=4/3*π*r^3
v=4/3*22/7*(1/2)^3
v=4/3*22/7*1/8
v=11/21
v=0.52 units^3
