How fast can Ron cycle?
« on: May 16, 2006, 01:50:16 am »
In one hour Dan drives 25 miles farther in his car than Ron can cycle on his bike. If it takes Ron one and a half hours longer to cycle 75 miles than it takes Dan in his car, how fast can Ron cycle?

Not sure if this is right.  I'm pretty sick and it's late.

R = D - 25
D = 1.5R
25 = 1.5R - R
25 = R(1.5 -1)
R = 25/.5
R = 50

Doesn't 50 mph on a bike seem a little umm... far fetched?

On average, yeah, but it's definitely possible.  I'm pretty sure I've done it before (downhill, but still).

I see my problem, though... hold on.  Working on a intelligible answer.

Well I started with rt=D
So rD*t = (rR*t) + 25
t = 1 so I get rD = rR + 25

75 = rR(tD + 3/2)

rD*tD = 75
Subsititute this up there...

75 = rR(75/rD + 3/2)
Then we plug in rD that we found in the beginning...
75 = rR(75/(rR + 25) + 3/2)
Solving... 0 = 3rR2 + 225rR - 75

I'm not doing something right... so I tried r=t/d but then that just got me something stupid too x_x

t = time, D = Dan's rate, R = Ron's rate
EQ 1.  tD-tR=25 when t =1
EQ 2.  tD = (t+1.5)R
sub  EQ 2 in EQ 1
1.5R = 25
R = 50/3

According to my calculations... (they might be wrong...)
It'll take Ron 4.5 hours for 75 miles.
It'll take Dan 1.8 hours for 75 miles.
4.5 - 1.8 != 1.5 ? I'm not saying you're wrong... but the difference in their time doesn't work out for me... can you show me Dan's rate/time too ?

Then 4.5 hours for Ron... 2 hours for Dan. That's still not a 1.5 hour difference :( ?

Doubt it.  My absolute highest speed (downhill, wind behind me, pedalling as hard as I could) was 58km/h, or 36mph.

Yeah, but you have a Canadian bike.  Canadian bikes don't have nuclear fuel cells.  Duh.
