Hi

jeremy and richard are racing around a track. 

Jeremy does a lap in 5 minutes and richard finishes the same lap in 4 minutes.

 If jeremy is travelling at the speed of 160mph,what is Richards speedhighlight%28x%29(in mph)?

  Note:  D = rt  and distance the same for both

  5%2A160+=+4%2Ax

      200mph = x
