Skater 1 travels 10 km in the same amount of time it takes skater 2 to travel 8 km. The first skater travels 8.58 km/hour faster than the second skater.
Let x equal the second skater's speed. Remember that t=d/r.
a. Use the verbal model below to write an equation that relates the skating
timers of the skaters. The only variable should be x.
distance for skater 1 distance for skater 2
speed of skater 1
speed of skater 2
b. Solve the equation you got in (a). Write the speed of skater 1, a comma,
and the speed of skater 2.
c. How long did the skaters skate (in hours)? (Use the formula given
above.)
