-Fred bicycles $3 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$ slower than Samantha. In the time it takes Fred to bicycle $20 \mathrm{~km}$, Samantha travels $26 \mathrm{~km}$. How fast does Fred bicycle?
A) $13 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$
B) $7 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$
C) $10 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$
D) $20 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fred's speed is $10 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$. This is found by setting up equations based on distance = speed × time, and solving for Fred's speed given the information that Samantha bikes 3 km/h faster and covers 26 km in the same time Fred covers 20 km.
