The distance between the quays is 650 km. River flow speed 2 km / h. The motor ship going against the current arrives in 9 hours 198 km. How many hours will the motor ship take if it moves with the current?
1. We calculate the speed of a river vessel when moving in the direction opposite to the flow of water in the river:
198: 9 = 22 km / h.
2. We calculate the speed of a river vessel in still water:
22 + 2 = 24 km / h.
3. We calculate the speed of a river vessel when moving in the direction in the direction of the flow of water in the river:
24 + 2 = 26 km / h.
3. We calculate the travel time of the river vessel when moving in the direction in the direction of the water flow in the river:
650: 26 = 25 hours.
Answer: a river vessel will sail 650 kilometers in 25 hours, moving in the direction of the flow of water in the river.
