A boat and a boat departed from the two piers at the same time towards each other. They met after 5 hours. The speed of the boat is 12 km / h, the speed of the boat is 5 times higher. Find the distance between the marinas.

1. To solve the problem, let us find the speed of the boat if it is said that its speed is 5 times the speed of the boat.

12 * 5 = 60 kilometers.

2. Let’s determine how many kilometers the boat will sail along the river in 5 hours.

60 * 5 = 300 kilometers.

3. Let’s calculate the distance covered in 5 hours by the boat, if it is said that its speed is 12 kilometers per hour.

12 * 5 = 60 kilometers.

4. Find out how many kilometers between the marinas.

300 + 60 = 360 kilometers.

Answer: The distance between the marinas is 360 kilometers.
