Question 402008: Shannon’s mini-van travels 30 mph faster than Chris’ Harley. In the same time it takes Chris to travel 75 miles, Shannon travels 120 miles. Solve for the speeds of Chris and Shannon. Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Shannon's rate = r + 30
Chris's rate = r
==>
==> 75(r+30) = 120r
==> 75r + 2250 = 120r
==> 2250 = 45r
==> r = 50 mph, the rate of Chris, and
r + 30 = 80 mph, the rate of Shannon.
