Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:
x, x + 8
They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.
In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:
8(2x +8) = 240
2x + 8 = 30
2x = 22
x = 11.
Then:
- x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.
