Cyclist Speed and Distance Problems

The video tutorial explains a problem involving two cyclists starting 36 miles apart and meeting after 2 hours. The faster cyclist travels twice as fast as the slower one. The tutorial guides viewers through setting up and solving an equation to find the speed of the faster cyclist, using the formula distance equals rate times time. The solution reveals that the faster cyclist travels at 12 miles per hour.

What is the initial distance between the two cyclists?

• 36 miles

• 48 miles

• 24 miles

• 60 miles

What equation represents the total distance covered by both cyclists?

• 36 = 2R + 4R

• 36 = R + 2R

• 36 = 3R + 3R

• 36 = 4R + 2R
