Two hikers are 33 miles apart and walking toward each other.They meet in 5 hours.Find the rate of each hiker if one hiker walks 2.2 mph faster than the other.Whats the speed of the slow and fast hiker

Answer 1

R is the slower speed...

R+2.2 is the faster speed...

5(R+R+2.2) = 33

5(2R+2.2)=33

10R + 11 = 33

10R = 22

R = 22/10 = 11/5 = 2.2

slower is 2.2, faster is 4.4
