Two hikers are 11 miles apart and walking toward each other. They meet in 2 hours. Find the rate of each hiker if one hiker walks 1.3 mph faster than the other.

The rate of one hiker is 2.1 mph and the other hiker who walks faster is 3.4 mph.

Explanation:

Given:

Two hikers are 11 miles apart and walking toward each other.

They meet in 2 hours.

Now, to find the rate of each hiker if one hiker walks 1.3 mph faster than the other.

Let the rate of one hiker be

And, let the rate of other hiker be

Now, to get the distance in 2 hour:

Distance of one hiker:

Distance of other hiker:

As, given two hikers are 11 miles apart and walking toward each other and they meet in 2 hours.

According to question:

Subtracting both sides by 2.6 we get:

Dividing both sides by 4 we get:

Thus, the rate of one hiker = 2.1 mph.

And, the rate of other hiker =

Therefore, the rate of one hiker is 2.1 mph and the other hiker who walks faster is 3.4 mph.
