At 9: 00 on saturday morning, two bicyclists heading in opposite directions pass each other on a bicycle path. the bicyclist heading north is riding 5 km/hour faster than the bicyclist heading south. at 10: 45, they are 47.25 km apart. find the two bicyclists’ rates.

Between 9:00 am and 10:45 am, there have been 1 hour and 45 minutes or 1.75 hours have passed. Let x be the speed of the slower cyclist and x+ 5 be the rate of the second cyclist. The given situation is best represented through the equation below,

                                x(1.75) + (x + 5)(1.75) = 47.25 km

The value of x from the equation is 11. Thus, the two bicyclists' rates are 11 km/h and 16 km/h. 

Cyclist A travels at 11 km/hr and cyclist B travels at 16 km/r

Step by step explanation:

The cyclist B is riding 5 km/hr faster than cyclist A. From 09:00  till 10:45 is 1 hour and 45 minutes. This is 60 plus 45 minutes:

In 105 minutes they are 47.25 km apart. Let x be the speed of cyclist A and y be the speed of cyclist B. We can write x in terms of y:

We can write an expression relating the two cyclists to the total speed of the cyclists.

We know that in 105 minutes they are 47.25 km apart.

We can substitute the 47.25 km into the following expression:

Solve for x

Therefore y is:

Cyclist A travels at 11 km/hr and cyclist B travels at 16km/r

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )

answer: yes i agree that you should not put it on/p>

step-by-step explanation: the reason for this is that it wastes other peoples time and also make them fail as well and that is never good.
