Incomplete description.

k, some real positive number
r, the speed of Ralph
r+k, Ned's speed


%28r%2Bk%29%2A2%2B2r=250
-
2r%2B2k%2B2r=250
r%2Bk%2Br=125
2r%2Bk=125
highlight%28r=%28125-k%29%2F2%29

            ANSWER.   Ralph drove slower than Ned.


It is all that one can deduce/conclude from your post. 

    In more serious terms, you missed vitally important part/data in your post, and therefore the problem CAN NOT be solved 
    and the answer CAN NOT be obtained.

Be more attentive/accurate next time.

And do not post nonsense to the forum.
