    So lets say the distance one boy travels is 'x', you can set up an equation like this:

    x + x + 1 = 7

    2x + 1 = 7

    2x = 6

    x = 3

    So one boy walks 3 miles in one hour, and the other walks 4 miles in one hour.

    Therefore, their speeds are 3 miles per hour and 4 miles per hour respectively.
