1. Tyrone rides his bicycle 5 miles from his home to the city bus stop at
the rate of 8 miles per hour. He arrives in time to catch the bus to work,
which travels at 25 miles per hour. If he spends 1.5 hours traveling from
home to work, how far does he travel on the bus?
2. At what rate must Eden travel to overtake Rex, who is traveling at a rate
20 miles per hour slower than Eden, if Eden starts 2 hours after Rex and
wants to overtake him in 4 hours?
can you explain how to solve this problem and perhaps what is the best approach for rate problems
