Answer:

The speed of the runner is 6 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance between the cyclist and the runner is 68 miles.

Given the speed of the cyclist is 28 miles per hour.

Initial time is 1:00PM Final time is 3:00PM

Time elapsed is 3-1=2hours

Let the cyclist travel a distance of x miles,Then the distance travelled by the runner is 68-x miles.

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

for the cyclist

28=\frac{x}{2}

x=56 miles

the distance travelled by the runner is 68-56=12 miles

speed of the runner =  12/2 = 6 miles per hour
