Let the speed of one rider = x
The speed of the second rider would e 2x ( twice as fast)
The total speed of the two riders would be x + 2x = 3x
Speed = Distance / time
Using the numbers:
3x = 72/3
Simplify:
3x = 24
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 8
The speed of one rider is 8 miles per hour
The speed of the second rider is 2(8) = 16 miles per hour.
Answer:
I think its 50 if this is correct can u mark me brainliest?
Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction.
