My friend and I live 120 miles apart. We decided to ride our bikes to meet one another between our homes. We both started out at 7 am and I thought it would take all day to meet. To my surprise, 2 hours later there was my friend in the road! It turns out that he took his motorcycle instead of a bicycle. If my friend traveled 4 times faster than I was riding my bike, how fast was i bicycling?
\n" ); document.write( "========================
\n" ); document.write( "You travel the same amount of time until you meet.
\n" ); document.write( "--> the distances each travels is directly related to the speeds.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "4x faster = 5x as fast.
\n" ); document.write( "The motorcycle goes 5x as far as the bicycle.
\n" ); document.write( "--> 100 miles and 20 miles
\n" ); document.write( "===================================
\n" ); document.write( "PS if 4x faster = 4x as fast, what is 1x faster, or 100% faster? Is it the same speed? \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
