<PRE><B>Question 881401</B>
two cyclists start from the same place and ride in opposite directions. one cyclist is twice as fast as the other. in 2 hours they are 60 miles apart. find the speed of each cyclist.

***
x=speed of slower cyclist
2x=speed of faster cyclist
distance=travel time*speed
..
2x+2*2x=60
6x=60
x=10
2x=20
speed of slower cyclist=10 mph
speed of faster cyclist=20 mph</PRE>
