A boat and a boat departed from the two piers at the same time towards each other. Before the meeting, the boat covered 48 km, and the boat covered 24 km. The boat speed is 8 km / h. Find the speed of the boat.

1) Let’s find the time in the way of the boat and boat until the moment they meet. This time is equal to the travel time of the boat. To find the time, the distance traveled must be divided by the speed.

24: 8 = 3 (h).

2) How fast was the boat moving? To find the speed, the distance traveled must be divided by the time.

48: 3 = 16 (km / h).

Answer. The boat was moving at a speed of 16 km / h.
