Kim bicycles 5 km/h faster than Tim. In the time that it takes Tim to bicycle 42 km, Kim can bicycle 57 km. How fast does Kim travel?
-------
Tim DATA:
rate = r km/hr ; time = t hrs ; distance = r*t = 42 km
-------------
Kim DATA:
rate = r+5 km/hr ; time = t hrs ; distance = (r+5)t = 57 km
-------
Equation:
rt + 5t = 57
42 + 5t = 57
5t = 15
time = 3 hrs
-----
Ans: Kim rate = dist/time = 57/3 = 19 km/hr
