Problema Solution
Two cyclists start from the same point at the same time and move in opposite directions. One cyclist is traveling at 7mph, and the other cyclist at 8mph. After 120min, how many miles apart are the two cyclists?
Answer provided by our tutors
Speed of first cyclist = 7 mph
Speed of second cyclist = 8 mph
After 120 minutes i.e after 2 hours,
First cyclist would have travelled = 7 mph x 2 hours = 14 miles
Second cyclist would have travelled = 8 mph x 2 hours = 16 miles
They would be apart by 14 + 16 = 30 miles
