Question 1050483: jason rides his bike 6 miles in the same time it takes steve to ride 8 miles. if jason travels 1 mile per hour slower than steve what is each man's speed? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! D= rt 0r D/r = t (times equal)
6/(r-1) = 8/r
| Cross Multiplying to solve
6r = 8r-8
8 = 2r
4 = r =4 mph, Steve's speed. Jason's speed 3mph
