A rive is 10 ft wide.Two boats start to move towards each other from opposite river banks.In one minute the first boat goes 2 feet and the second one goes 1 foot.What would be the distance between the boats after 1 minute?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The distance between the boats after 1 minute is 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the distance between the boats after 1 minute

The distance covered by the first boat after 1 minute is 2 feet while for the second it is 1 foot

So for the first boat, it has 8 ft ahead, for the second boat, it has 9 ft ahead

So the distance between the two after 1 minute will be 9 ft + 8 ft = 17 ft
