Two cyclist leaves town 200 mi apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one travels at 10mi/h slower than the other. the they meet in 5 hours, what is the rate of each cyclist

Let x be the rate of speed of slower cyclist

and x+10 = rate of speed of faster cyclist

Distance = Speed * Time

5x + 5(x+10) = 200

5x + 5x + 50 = 200

10x = 200-50

10x = 150

x = 15

Rate of speed of slower cyclist: 15 mph

Rate of speed of faster cyclist = 15+10 => 25 mph

just needed some points but try socratic

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
