POW 9

Problem statement- the problem is to find how many boats you see on a 6 months journey from New York to San Francisco.

Solution-I came to the solution that a boat traveling from New York to San Francisco at a constant speed you would see 14 coats. 12 on the way a 1 at each port. This equals 14

Process- I have a diagram( pg,2) which helped me with figuring it out all I did was drew the Americas. Then I drew 6 equal spots between New York and San Francisco on the map. Then I counted the first boat which was the one on the dock. You only see one at the dock so that means there must be one coming so I guesses there would be one at the one month mark. We would meet at the half way mark (this is marked by the gold dot). You would then see another
