| From two boat stations, the distance between which is 54 km, a boat and a boat set off simultaneously in the same direction. Boat speed – 25 km / h, boat speed – 7 km / h. After a while, the boat caught up with the boat. Find the distance traveled by boat
Decision
1) 25 – 7 = 18 (km / h) – speed of approach of the boat to the boat.
2) 54: 18 = 3 (h) – the time taken by the boat to catch the boat.
3) 25 * 3 = 75 (km)
Answer: the distance traveled by the boat before meeting with the boat is 75 km.
