Question

Two bikers are 11 miles apart and walking toward each other. They meet in 2 hrs. Find the ratebof each hikerif one hiker walks 1.1 mph fater than the other

Answer 1

The sum of the distances each hikes is equal to 11 miles

d_slow = 2r

d_fast = 2(r + 1.1)

 

2r + 2(r + 1.1) = 11

 

Can you solve for r and answer?
