document.write( "The number of 200 has two divisors, 40 and 50, that differ by 10 units and such that if you divide 200 by 40 one time\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "and divide 200 by 50 next time, you will get two quotients, 5 and 4, that differ exactly one units.\r\n" );

document.write( "By making this mental thought experiment, you quickly will get the answer to your question, without using any equations and much faster.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The faster rate is 50 miles per hour.\r\n" );
