Two cyclists start from the same point and ride in opposite directions. One cyclist. One cyclist rides twice as fast as the other. In 3 h, they are 90 mi apart. Find the rate of each cyclist.
\n" ); document.write( "let speed of first cyclist is x mile /hours and other is twice means 2x mile/hours
\n" ); document.write( "distance traveled by both in 3 hrs will be 3x and 6x miles
\n" ); document.write( "both are in opposite direction
\n" ); document.write( "total distance will be 3x+6x=90
\n" ); document.write( "9x=90
\n" ); document.write( "x=90/9=10 miles /hours
\n" ); document.write( "Answer
\n" ); document.write( "10 miles/hours and 20 miles /hours
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
