Answer:
40km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the submarine's speed be x km/h
the time taken by the submarine is given as 5 hours
the aircraft travels 10km/h faster than the submarine= 15km/h
time taken by the aircraft is 2hours
therefore the distance covered by both vehicles can be described using the expression below
we know that distance=velocity*time, so equating the two vehicles distance to 110km we have
5*x+15*2=110
5x+30=110
solving for x we have
5x=110-30
5x=80
divide both sides by 5 we have
x=80/5
x=40km/h
The submarine's speed is 40km/h
