Problema Solution
Two canoes travel down a river, starting at 9:00 a.m One canoe travels twice as fast as the other. After 3.5 hour, the canoes are 5.25 mile apart. Find the speed of each canoe
Answer provided by our tutors
Let x be the speed of one canon then the speed of second canon =2x.
3.5x+2x*3.5=5.25.
10.5x=5.25.
x=5.25/10.5
=0.5 miles per H.
The speed of other canon =2x=2*0.5
=1 mile per H.
