The motor ship and the boat departed from the same pier and went in the same direction. The speed of the ship is 25 km / h, the speed of the boat is 32 km / h. What is the distance between them.

To solve the problem, we find how many km / h the speed of the boat is higher than the speed of the motor ship.

We subtract the speed of the motor ship from the speed of the boat.

32 – 25 = 7 km / h (this is how much the speed of the boat is higher).

We take the time of movement of the boat and motor ship en route as x.

In this case, the distance between them, depending on the travel time, will increase by:

7 * x km.

If we assume that the ship and the boat were on the way for 3 hours, then during this time between them there will be:

7 * 3 = 21 km.

Answer: The distance between the boat and the motor ship is 7 * x km.
