Problema Solution

from their boat in the middle of the lake, Carl and Kenna swam in opposite directions toward the shore. After 5 minutes they were 1,500 feet apart. Kenna swims 1 1/2 times as fast as Carl. How far did each person swim?

Answer provided by our tutors

K + C = 1500

K = 1.5 C

1.5C + C = 1500

2.5C = 1500

C = 900 feet

K = 900 feet
