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
