I know the answer is three hours due to drawing a picture... but I'd like to know how to use an equation. Thank you. Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! how far will the 10 mph cyclist go?
how far will the 12 mph cyclist go?
how do you know?
because you used three hours
use t and add them together to equal 66
