Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Abe rode for 77mins

Let ta represent Amil time and tb represent Abe time.

Then tb=77mins

The rate if amil is faster than able

Let the speed of mail be Va and that of Abel be Vb

Therefore Va>Vb

Velocity = distance / time

Amil rate Va=d/ta

If Amil rode 15miles

Da = 15miles

ta= 55mins

Since they are on the same track then the rate of Amil is

Va=Da/ta

Va= 15/55

Va= 0.273miles/minutes

Since they are on the same track they will have the same speed Da.

Vb= 15/77

Vb= 0.195miles/minutes

With the calculations above Va is greater then Vb as expected..
