Hi guys!! Answer this question please...
two ships take different routes to reach the “spice capital of the world”. The Distances traveled by the two ships are in the ratio of 3:2. Ship 1 moves at 40kmph and ship 2 travel at 60kmph.If the two ships arrived at their destination with a Time gap of 1 hour, what is the Distance traveled by both
The correct answer will be followed by me
Answers
Answer:
ship 1 =144 km
ship 2 =96 km
Step-by-step explanation:
let us take the distance travelled by the first ship as 3x
and distance travelled by the second ship as 2x
total distance travelled by both ships=3x + 2x=5x
distance travelled by first ship = 3 * 40 = 120 km
distance travelled by second ship=2*60=120km
5x=240km
x = 240/5
x= 48km
distance travelled by ship 1 = 3 *48 =144 km
distance travelled by ship 2=2 *48 =96 km
hope this is correct
The total distance traveled by Ship 1 is 360 km and the total distance traveled by Ship 2 is 240 km.
Let's call the total distance traveled by Ship 1 as 3x and the total distance traveled by Ship 2 as 2x.
Then, the time taken by Ship 1 to reach the destination is x / 40 kmph and the time taken by Ship 2 to reach the destination is x / 60 kmph.
Since the time gap between their arrivals is 1 hour, we have:
Solving for x, we get:
x = 120 km
So, the total distance traveled by Ship 1 is 3x = 360 km and the total distance traveled by Ship 2 is 2x = 240 km.
The combined distance traveled by both ships is 360 km + 240 km = 600 km.
