Let d represent the distance and t the time taken by the ship. Then, from the statement of the problem, 605(t-104) = 33t, or (605 - 33)t = 605(104), or t = 110 hours. In this time, the ship travels (33 miles/hour) X 110 hours = 3630 miles. If the ship makes no detours, this is therefore the distance between the two cities. Only two significant digits are justified, because only two are given for the speed of the ship. If significant digits are to be considered, the answer should be written as 3.6 X 103 miles.

When two cyclists begin traveling in the same direction on the same bike path One travels at 15 miles per hour and the other travels at 12 miles per hour when will the cyclists be 10 miles apart?
To find when the cyclists will be 10 miles apart, you can set up a distance equation. Since they are traveling in the same direction, the relative speed at which they are moving apart is 15 - 12 = 3 mph. So, the time it will take for them to be 10 miles apart is 10 miles / 3 mph = 3.33 hours.
