Answer:
ship 1 =144 km
ship 2 =96 km
Step-by-step explanation:
let us take the distance travelled by the first ship as 3x
and distance travelled by the second ship as 2x
total distance travelled by both ships=3x + 2x=5x
distance travelled by first ship = 3 * 40 = 120 km
distance travelled by second ship=2*60=120km
5x=240km
x = 240/5
x= 48km
distance travelled by ship 1 = 3 *48 =144 km
distance travelled by ship 2=2 *48 =96 km
hope this is correct
