An aircraft carrier left Port 35 traveling north five hours before a container ship. The container ship traveled in the opposite direction going 8 km/h faster than the aircraft carrier for seven hours after which time the ships were 303 km apart. What was the aircraft carrier's speed ?

Aircraft carrier speed = 4.97 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the time taken by the aircraft = 5 hours

Let the distance covered = X

Speed = V

Time taken by the ship = 7 hours

Let the distance covered = Y

Speed = 8V

Since it is 8 km/h faster than the aircraft carrier.

Using the speed formula

Speed = distance/time

Distance = speed × time

For the aircraft;

X = 5V

For the ship:

Y = 7 × 8V = 56V

Since they are 303km distance apart,

X + Y = 303

5V + 56V = 303

61V = 303

V = 303/61

V = 4.97 km/h

Aircraft carrier speed = 4.97 km/h
