Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A P E X
The speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.
Let the speed of one bicyclist=x mph
Let the speed of the other bicyclist=(x+3) mph
Hence:
Speed of one bicyclist:
3x+3(x+3)+2=98
3x+3x+9+2=98
6x=87
Divide both side by 6x
x=87/6
x=14.5 mph
Speed of the other bicyclist:
x+3 mph
14.5 mph+3 mph
=17.5 mph
Inconclusion the speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.
