Answer:

Rider A:

EQUATION: Distance (km) = 60 km/h Time (h)

In 15hs he will go 60x15 = 900km far

Rider B:

EQUATION: Distance (km) = 24 km/h Time (h)

In 15hs he will go 24x15 = 360km far

Explanation:

Rider A:

Distance (km) = S Time (h)

One point is (time, distance) = (2hs, 60 km)

so:

60 = S 2 => S = 30 km/h

Rider B:

72/3 = 24

120/5 = 24

192/8 = 24

it means he rides at a constant speed of 24 km/h
