At 05 25, Roshel left Town A and cycled towards Town B. Jaslyn left Town A and cycled towards Town B at 05 55. Jaslyn's cycling speed was 4 km/h faster than Roshel. At 10 25, Jaslyn caught up with Roshel. Find the cycling speed of each cyclist.
- Roshel
- Jaslyn
(a)
Duration that Jaslyn cycled from 05 55 to 10 25
= 4
3060 = 4
12 h
Distance that Jaslyn cycled more than Roshel
= 4
12 x 4
= 18 km
However, since Roshel left 30 minutes earlier than Jaslyn and Jaslyn caught up with Roshel, it means that Roshel has cycled 18 km in 30 min.
1 h = 60 min
30 min = 30 ÷ 60 =
12 h
Roshel's cycling speed
= 18 ÷
12 = 18 x
21 = 36 km/h
(b)
Jaslyn's cycling speed
= 36 + 4
= 40 km/h
Answer(s): (a) 36 km/h ; (b) 40 km/h
