Distance, Speed, and Time Two cyclists, 90 km apart, start riding toward each other at the same time.
One cycles twice as fast as the other.
If they meet 2 hours later, at what average speed is each cyclist traveling?
---------------------------
The sum of their speeds is 45 km/hr
Their speeds are in the ratio 2:1
-----------------
2:1 ---> 15 km/hr and 30 km/hr
