cruise ship goes 15 hm/h. the fishing ship goes 19km/h in the opposite direction. find the number of hours the cruise ship needs to travel before the ships are 204 km apart.
To find the number of hours the cruise ship needs to travel before the ships are 204 km apart, we can set up the following equation:
15h + 19h = 204
Combining like terms, we get:
34h = 204
Dividing both sides of the equation by 34, we find:
h = 6
Therefore, the cruise ship needs to travel for 6 hours before the ships are 204 km apart.
