Question 770119: The distance between two towns A and B, is 90 km. John cycles from A to B whereas Harry cycles from B to A. They start cycling towards each other at the same time. John cycles twice as fast as Harry does. If they meet after 2 hours later, at what average speed is each cyclist traveling? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Think of one cyclist as standing still and the
other traveling at the sum of their speeds
--------------
Let = Harry's speed in km/hr = John's speed in km/hr
--------------
and
Harry's speed is 15 km/hr
John's speed is 30 km/hr
check:
and
and
OK
