Question 966869: Oscar can drive 4 times as fast as Pablo can ride his bicycle. If it takes Pablo 3 hours longer than Oscar to travel 88 miles, how fast can Pablo ride his bicycle? Answer by thesvw(77) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If it took Oscar T hours to travel 88 miles, Pablo took hours. If Pablo can ride his bike at a speed of V, Oscar can ride at a speed of 4V.
Lets write down equations using the above data.
(Distance=Speed*Time)
multiply first equation by 4...
subtract the second equation from this,
miles per hour (The speed of Pablo)
