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.

How do you estimate? I don't really understand because for one question my teacher said you wouldn't round your numbers, but for
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

You can round up to tenths, hundredths, thousandths, or tens, hundreds, and thousands. Some numbers, they have remainders when divided, so you would round them up to make them whole numbers or non-repeating decimals.

Hope this helps!!
