At the beginning of a bicycle ride for charity, Yady Saldarriaga and Dane McGuckian are 30 mi. apart. If they leave at the same time and ride in the same direction, Yady overtakes DAne in 6 hours. If they ride toward each other, they pass each other in 1 hr. What are their rates?
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Same direction DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
\n" ); document.write( "Dane distance = x miles ; time = 6 hrs ;rate = x/6 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Yady distance = x + 30 mile ; time = 6 hrs ; rate = (x+30)/6 mph
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Toward each other Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x/6 + (x+30)/6 = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x + x+30 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 150
\n" ); document.write( "x = 75 miles
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Dane rate = 75/6 = 25/2 = 12.5 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Yady rate = (75+30)/6 = 105/6 = 17.5 mph
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
