Find the duration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time : 9:00am to 10:15am
Duration: 1hour 15 mins or 1.25hours

Find difference in distance travelled between the two cyclists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difference in speed = 6km/h
1 hour = 6 km
1.25 hours = 7.5km
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the distance the cyclist traveled
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42.5 - 7.5 = 35km
35km ÷ 2 = 17.5km
The slower cyclist traveled 17.5 km in the 1.25 hours
17.5 + 7.5 = 25 km
The faster cyclist traveled 25km in the 1.25 hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the slower cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 17.5 km
1 hour = 17.25 ÷ 1.25
1 hour = 14km
The cyclist was traveling at 14km/h
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the faster cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 25km
1 hour = 25 ÷ 1.25
1hour = 20 km
The cyclist was traveling at 20km/hour
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The speed were 14km/h and 20 km/h

Common difference is +6 and I think nth term is 5 (pretty sure it's always the first term) and the second one im not so sure about I'm sorry.
Answer:
29 Minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The original speed is given in miles per hour (like a car), but the answer is asking for miles per minute, so we must convert the speed into miles per minute first. To do this, we set up this equation:
which equals
. We can then divide the desired number of miles by the speed in miles per minute. Here is the eqaution for this
. The miles cancel and you are just left with 29.1 minutes after you divide 4.9 by 0.168333333. Hope this helps!
