Answer:

The speed of the faster cyclist is 15 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the slower cyclist be x miles per hour

The speed of the faster is 3 times this

Mathematically, we have this as 3 * x miles per hour = 3x miles per hour

Now;

distance = speed * time

In 4 hours, the distance covered by the slower will be;

x * 4 = 4x miles

The faster;

3x * 4 = 12x miles

Since they are riding opposite each other, they would have covered a total distance of 80 miles when they meet

Thus, we have that;

12x + 4x = 80

16x = 80

x = 80/16

x = 5

The speed of the faster is;

3x miles per hour

Substitute the value of x here

That will be;

3 * 5 = 15 miles per hour
