At 7:00 a.m. a student leaves his home in his automobile to drive to school 28 miles away. He averages 50 mph until 7:30 a.m. when his car breaks down. The student has to walk and run the rest of the way. If he wants to arrive at school at 8:00 a.m. how fast, in mph, must he travel on foot? A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6 E. 7
6 mph 1) Calculate the distance covered by car in 30 minutes: Distance=Speed × Time Distance= 50 mph × 0.5 hour =25 miles 2) Calculate the remaining distance to cover on foot: 28−25= 3 3) Calculate the time available for walking/running: The student must arrive at school by 8:00 a.m., which means he has 1 hour (from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.) to cover the remaining 3 miles. 4) Calculate the required speed for walking/running: Speed=Distance/Time Speed= 3 miles/0.5 hours = 6 mph
A theater charges $5.00 admission for adults and $2.50 for children. At one showing 240 admissions brought a total of $800. How many adults attended the showing? A. 40 B. 80 C. 120 D. 160 E. 266
80 1) Given: The total number of admissions equation: A + C= 240 A = 240 - A The total revenue equation: 5A + 2.5C= 800 2) 5 (240 - C ) + 2.5C = 800 1200 - 5C + 2.5 C = 800 1200 - 2.5 C = 800 -2.5 C = -400 C = -400/-2.5 C = 160 3) A+160= 240 A= 240−160 A=80
Two cars start at the same point and travel north and west at the rate of 24 and 32 mph respectively. How far apart are they at the end of 2 hours? A. 64 B. 80 C. 112 D. 116 E. 100
80 1) We know that distance = speed × time. Therefore, the distance traveled by each car after 2 hours is: For the car traveling north: dn= 24 mph × 2 hours= 48 miles For the car traveling west: dw= 32 mph × 2 hours= 64 miles 2) Now, using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance between the two cars is given by: Distance= sqr rt( dn^2 + dw^2) Distance= sqr rt (48^2 + 64^2) Distance= sqr rt (2304 + 4096) Distance= sqr rt (6400) Distance= 80 miles
