A scooter travels 10 miles per hour faster than an electric bicycle. The scooter traveled for 3 hours and the bicycle traveled for 5 1/2 hours. All together the scooter and bicycle traveled no more than 285 miles. Find the maximum speed of each

The maximum speed of bicycle and scooter are  30 miles/hour and 40 miles/hour respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of electric bicycle be x

We are given that A scooter travels 10 miles per hour faster than an electric bicycle.

So, Speed of scooter = x+10

The scooter traveled for 3 hours

The bicycle traveled for

Distance traveled by scooter =

Distance traveled by bicycle =5.5x

We are given that  All together the scooter and bicycle traveled no more than 285 miles

So,

Maximum speed of bicycle = 30 miles/hour

Maximum speed of scooter = x+10=30+10=40 miles/hour

Hence the maximum speed of bicycle and scooter are  30 miles/hour and 40 miles/hour respectively.

good luck on your studies! : )
