The complete exercise is: Nathan and Sydney start out together on a bike trail that is 24 miles long. Nathan bikes at 8 miles per hour. Sydney bikes at 12 miles per hour. Which statement is true? 1) Nathan arrives 1 hour later than Sydney. 2) Nathan arrives 4 hours later than Sydney. 3) Sydney arrives 1 hour before Nathan. 4) They arrive at the same time.

You need to remember that:

Where "V" is the speed, "d" is distance and "t" is time.

If you solve for "t", this is:

Calculate the time it takes to Nathan arrives to the end of the bike trail.

Therefore, you get:

Calculate the time it takes to Sidney arrives to the end of the bike trail.
