Answer:

the rate of the first cyclist: 28km/h

the rate of the 2nd cyclist 28+4= 32km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

x= the rate of the first cyclist

x+4= the rate of the 2nd cyclist

after 4 hours: + the first cyclist travels 4x  (km)

                       + the 2nd cyclist travels 4(x+4)  (km)

because the two cyclists are 240 km apart after 4 hours

=> 4x + 4(x+4) = 240 => x= 28
