Steamer

At 6 hours 40 minutes, the steamer sailed from the port at a speed of 12 km/h. At exactly 10 hours, the motorboat started to sail at 42 km/h. When will the motorboat catch steamer?

Result

t = 11:20 hh:mm Wrong answer

Step-by-step explanation:


12·(t-(6+40/60)) = 42·(t-10.00)

1800t = 20400


t = 20400/1800 = 11.33333333

t = 34/3 ≈ 11.333333
