| Two boats departed from one pier in opposite directions. The first boat covered 56 km, and the second boat was 2 times less than the first one. What is the distance between the boats? How many kilometers the first boat traveled more than the second
The task:
distance covered by the 1st boat – 56 km;
By the 2nd boat -? km, half as much;
distance between boats -? km;
differential comparison of the distances traveled.
1. Let’s calculate the distance covered by the 2nd boat:
56: 2 = 28 km.
2. Determine the distance between the boats:
56 + 28 = 84 km.
3. Comparison of the passed:
56 – 28 = 28 km.
Answer: between boats – 84 km, the distance traveled by the 1st boat is more
the distance covered by the 2nd boat is 28 km.
