Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate at which distance is increasing between the birds is ...
r = d/t = (402 mi)/(6 h) = 67 mi/h
This is the sum of the speeds of the two birds, so is 15 mph more than double the speed of the slower bird. That bird's speed is then ...
(67 -15)/2 = 26 . . . miles per hour
The faster bird is 15 mph faster so is 26+15 = 41 mph.
The slower bird's speed is 26 mph; the faster bird's speed is 41 mph.
