Two cyclists leave towns 78 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one cyclist travels 6 mph slower than the other. they meet in 3 hours what is the rate of each cyclist

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

the answer is 21%.
