Problem
Two cyclists, 
miles apart, and starting at the same time, would be together in 
hours if they traveled in the same direction, but would pass each other in 
hours if they traveled in opposite directions. The ratio of the speed of the faster cyclist to that of the slower is:
Solution
![[asy] pair A,B,C; A=(0,0); B=(8,0); C=(4,1); draw((A)--(B)); label("$A$",A,S); label("$B$",B,SE); label("$k$",C,SW); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/d/e/dde14026d91f4e3f1e89c87d4a85d6baf10e5856.png)
