Let the walker’s speed be W, then the biker’s is W+1.5W=2.5W. Difference in speed is 1.5W. Distance=speed times time, so 12.5=1.5W×1.5=2.25W, and W=12.5/2.25=1250/225=50/9=5.56 mph. The biker’s speed is 2.5W=125/9=13.89 mph to 2 Dec places.
(Note: “1.5 times faster than a walker’s speed” could not reasonably mean the biker’s speed=1.5W because this would give W=16.67 mph, which is very fast for a runner, let alone a walker (!), and a biker’s speed of 25mph.)

Answer: Speed of walker and biker will be 16.67 miles per hour and 25 miles per hour respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of a walker be x

Let the speed of a biker be 1.5x

They are moving in the same direction,

so, their Relative speed will be

1.5x-x=0.5x

Time taken = 1.5 hours

Distance between them = 12.5 miles

As we know the formula for "Distance":

Distance=Speed\times time\\\\12.5=1.5\times 0.5x\\\\\frac{12.5}{1.5}=0.5x\\\\8.33=0.5x\\\\\frac{8.33}{0.5}=x\\\\16.67\ miles\ per\ hour=x

Hence, Speed of walker be 16.67 miles per hour

Speed of biker be

1.5\times 16.67=25\ miles\ per\ hour

6 students want lemonade and 12 students
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

well we show ratio by the sign ' : '

ratio of iced tea to lemonade= 12:6

now we reduce it to minimum by dividing it with same number.

12 is divisible by 6

so,

the reduced form is = 2:1

therefore,

ratio of the  number of students who want iced tea to the  number of students who want lemonade = 2:1.

What is the answer to ax+z =aw-y if you are solving for a
inysia [295]
Ax + z = aw - y....subtract aw from both sides
ax - aw + z = -y....subtract z from both sides
ax - aw = -y - z....factor out a on the left side
a(x - w) = -y - z...divide both sides by (x-w)
a = (-y - z) / (x - w)
