Two ships

The distance from A to B is 300km. At 7 am started from A to B a ferry with speed higher by 20 km/h than a ship that leaves at 8 o'clock from B to A. Both met at 10h 24min. Determine how far they will meet from A and when they reach the destination.

Result

s1 =  204 km
t1 = 12:00 hh:mm Wrong answer
t2 = 15:30 hh:mm Wrong answer

Solution:
