Question

Two high-speed ferries leave at the same time from a city to go to the same island. The first ferry, the Cat, travels at 37 miles per hour. The second ferry, the Bird,

travels at 26 miles per hour. In how many hours will the two ferries be 11 miles apart?
The ferries will be 11 miles apart after hour(s).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: They will be 11 miles apart after 1 hour.

EXPLANATION: If they are going at 37 and 26 miles, you subtract the total and you get 11, so in this case since 11 is the number we are trying to find, after 1 hour they are going 11 miles apart.
