How fast the distance between them decrease is 16mph

<h3>How to calculate the speed of an object?</h3>

Given the following parameters

Speed of the hiker = 6mph

If is it 3/11 the rate of a cyclist, then the rate of the cyclist will be:

6 = 3x/11
3x = 66

x = 22mph

Distance between them = 22 - 6

Distance between them = 16mph

Hence how fast the distance between them decreases is 16mph
