Using system of linear equations the distance at the fisherman and the bobbler meets ls 8 miles
Speed in still waters = 7 mph
Stream speed = 3 mph
Upstream speed of canoe = 7 - 3 = 4 mph
Distance between fisherman and bobbler = 14 miles
Let seperation distance = d
Meeting distance = 14 - d
using the relation :
Distance= (speed × time)
canoe distance , d = 4t - - - - (1)
Noobler distance = 14 - d = 3t ----(2)
Equate (1) and (2)
d/4 = (14 - d)/3
3d = 4 (14 - d)
3d = 56 - 4d
7d = 56
d = 8 miles
Hence, the distance is 8 miles
