The speed of the first runner is 1.78 mph while for the second runner is 2.22 mph

<h3>Speed</h3>

Speed is the ratio of total distance to total time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let a represent the speed of the first runner and b for the second runner. Hence:

a = (4/5)b

After 30 minutes (0.5 hour), the runners are 2 miles apart, hence:

a = d₁ / 0.5

d₁ = 0.5a

Also:

b = d₂/0.5

d₂ = 0.5b

d₁ + d₂ = 2, hence:

0.5a + 0.5b = 2

0.5(4/5)b + 0.5b = 2

b = 2.22 mph

a = (4/5) * 2.22 = 1.78 mph

The speed of the first runner is 1.78 mph while for the second runner is 2.22 mph
