Question 1161823
.
A walker and a cyclist go in the same direction on the same path. If the speed of the cyclist is three times that of the walker 
and they leave at 8:00 am and 12:00 noon, the cyclist has a 32 km advantage to the other. Find out how fast each one is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



<pre>
According to the context, . . . 


    the speed of the cyclist is  32 km divided by 4 hours,   {{{32/4}}} = 8 km/h.


Then the speed of the walker is   {{{8/3}}} km/h,  or  {{{2}}}{{{2/3}}} km/h.
</pre>

Solved.
