Let, speed of 1st bicyclist is x.

So, speed of 2nd bicyclist is x-3 .

We know, relative speed when two objects moves towards each other :

v = x + ( x-3 )\\\\v = 2x - 3

Now, distance travelled in 3 hours is (98-2) miles .

So,

2x-3 = \dfrac{96}{3}\\\\2x - 3 = 32\\\\2x = 35\\\\x = 17.5\ mph

Therefore, speed of bikes are 17.5 mph and 14.5 mph.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

For which equations does the fraction 23 make the equation true? Select all that apply.

35 × □ = 20; I rewrote 35 as 351 and then multiplied 2 and 35 to get the numerator, and I multiplied 3 and 1 to get the denominator.

26 × □ = 18126; I rewrote 26 as 126 and then multiplied 1 and 2 to get the numerator, and I multiplied 3 and 26 to get the denominator.

48 × □ = 32; I rewrote 48 as 481 and then multiplied 2 and 48 to get the numerator, and I multiplied 3 and 1 to get the denominator.

22 × □ = 1423; I rewrote 22 as 221 and then multiplied 2 and 22 to get the numerator, and I multiplied 3 and 1 to get the denominator.

23 × □ = 15; I rewrote 23 as 123 and then multiplied 2 and 1 to get the numerator, and I multiplied 23 and 3 to get the denominator.
