Two cyclists, 112 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 times as fast as the other, and they meet after 4 hours of riding. a. Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem. Use the variable r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist.

b. What are the speeds of the two cyclists? Put both values in the answerbox, separated with a comma, and select the appropriate units.

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr

Speed of a = 3r

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclist are 112 miles apart

Time traveled by two = 4 hours

Speed of a = 3 * speed of b

If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b

But speed = distance/time

Time = 4hours

Total distance=112

a = 3b

3b + b = 112

4b = 112

b = 112/4

b = 28 miles

a = 3b

a = 3*28

a = 84 Miles

They bought traveled 4 hours

Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours

Speed of b = 7 miles/hr

77

step-by-step explanation:

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
