Bianca's speed was 20 mph, while Arlene's speed was 15 mph.

Given that two cyclists, Arlene and Bianca, complete a 60-mile course, and Bianca's speed was 5 mph faster than Arlene's, and she finished the course 1 hour sooner, to determine what was each cyclist's speed the following calculation must be performed:

5 mph = 1 hour
60/5 = 12
60/10 = 6
60/10 = 6
60/15 = 4
60/15 = 4
60/20 = 3

Therefore, Bianca's speed was 20 mph, while Arlene's speed was 15 mph.
