I have attached the doubt with this email.
My question is if x is moving 50% faster then that means x will travel 40 miles and in that time y will travel 20 miles. So, after y takes another 20 miles, x will cover the distance of y with a total of 80 miles in 8/3 hours as given. So, why can’t we calculate the speed of y using the following:
d=rt
40=r*8/3
r= 15
Please reply
