    Average speed of the first car = 15 miles/hr

    Average speed of the second car = 30 miles/hr

    Explanations:

    distance = d = 90 miles

    Time = 2 hrs

    let speed of first cyclist = v

    speed of second cyclist = 2v

    relative speed = v + 2v = 3v

    using relative speed = Total distance/Total time

    3v = 90/2

    3 v=45

    v=15 miles/hr

    so speed of first cyclist = 15 miles/hr

    speed of second cyclist = 2 (15) = 30 miles/hr
