Ships

At 0:00, a ship set sail at 22 km/h. At 9:00, a sailboat followed at 43 km/h. When does the sailboat catch up with the ship?

How many minutes will it take for the sailboat to catch up?

Result

t = 18:26 hh:mm Wrong answer
m =  565.7 min

Step-by-step explanation:

t1=0:00=0 hr 00 min =0+6000=0 hr=0 v1=22 km/h t2=9:00=9 hr 00 min =9+6000=9 hr=9 v2=43 km/h  s1=s2  v1 (xt1)=v2 (xt2) 22 (x0)=43 (x9)  21x=387  x=21387=18.42857143  x=712918.428571  t=x=18.4286=18.42857=18:26 hh:mm
T=xt2=18.42869=7669.4286 h  m=T min=T 60  min=9.4286 60  min=565.7 min=565.7 min
