From 2 quays at the same time, two motor ships set off towards each other, the distance between the quays is 474 km.

From 2 quays at the same time, two motor ships set off towards each other, the distance between the quays is 474 km. The speed of one motor ship of the motor ship is 42 km / h. Which way did each motor ship go before meeting if they met after 6 hours.

1. Since the speed and time of one ship is known from the condition, and for the solution it is necessary to know the path of any of them, we determine what the distance traveled by one motor ship is equal to.

42 * 6 = 252 kilometers.

2. Let’s calculate how many kilometers the second passed before the meeting.

474 – 252 = 222 kilometers.

Answer: One motor ship passed 252 kilometers before the meeting, another 222.
