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

Let us determine how many km the boat has sailed if it is known that its speed is 12 km / h, and the travel time is equal to five hours.

12 * 5 = 60 km.

Let’s calculate what the speed of the boat is, if it is known that the boat was moving five times faster than the boat.

12 * 5 = 60 km / h.

Let’s calculate how many km the boat sailed if its speed is 60 km / h, and the time it sailed before meeting the boat is five hours.

60 * 5 = 300 km.

Let’s determine what distance was between the boat and the boat at the beginning of the journey.

60 + 300 = 360 km.

Answer: The distance between the boat and the boat is 360 km.
