Two boats simultaneously departed from the pier in opposite directions. The speed of the first boat is 25 km / h. At what distance from each other will they be in 4 hours, if the second boat covered 48 km in 2 hours.
1. Find the speed of the second boat.
48/2 = 24 km per hour.
2. Knowing the speed of both boats, we find the distance at which they move away from each other moving in the opposite direction.
25 + 24 = 49 kilometers.
3. Now let’s calculate at what distance the boats will be in 4 hours.
49 * 4 = 196 kilometers.
Answer: after 4 hours of travel, the distance between the boats will be 196 kilometers.
