#1 At 10 a.m., Little Flower trotted off in one direction at 6 mph. At noon, Laughing Boy loped off in the opposite direction. If they wer 68 miles apart at 4 p.m., how fast did Laughing Boy lope?\n\n#2 Selby walked for a while at 4 mph and then jogged the rest of the way at 8 mph. If she covered 56 miles in 10 hours, how far did she walk and how far did she jog?\n\n#3 Susie jogged to the farm at 6 mph and rode back home in a truck traveling at 30 mph. How far was it to the farm if the entire trip took 12 hours?

1st step: OK we need to know how many times  faster the car went on the way to the service station than on the return trip:\n49/16=3.0625 times faster on the way up than the way back. \n\n2nd step: find the how much time it took on the way up and the way back. \n\nNow comes the Algebra:\nif we let X stand for the way up, the equation for the round trip would be:\n X+ 3.0625X= 4\n4.0625X=4\nX=4/4.0625\nX=.985 \n\nso the time up = .985 hours and the time back = 4 -.985, or 3.015 hours.\n\nso how far is the station? well, it's 49km/h x .985 h, (using the data for the trip to the gas station) or:\n\n48.265 km\n\nok we're DONE!!\n\nPS: I have a sneaking suspicion that if you look at the problem again, you might find it said 48 km/h on the way up, which would work out to be that the trip was EXACTLY 3 times faster on the way up. ok just a hunch. But from what you gave me, that is the answer.

At 15 mph, it will take Charlene 2 minutes to go around once (0.5 mi * 60 min/15 mph - the 60 min converts hours to minutes for calculations).  At 12 mph, it will take Chris 2.5 minutes (0.5 mi/12 mph).\n\nAt the 2 minute mark, Charlene has already gone around once and is now "behind" Chris.  Chris will have gone 0.4 mi by then (12 mph * 2 min/60 min).  So now we can set up an algrbra problem - how long will it take Charlene to catch up?\n\nCharlene is going 15 mph, and will travel 15t miles after t hours.  Chris is going 12 mph and will travel 12t miles after t hours.  But Chris has a 0.4 mi head start.  So your equation will be\n\n15t = 12t + 0.4\n3t = 0.4\nt = 2/15 hours, or 8 minutes.\n\nSo, since all of these calculations are based on a point in time 2 minutes after they both started riding, Charlene will pass Chris 10 minutes after they started.

First question:  14 days.  Each day, the cat would net four feet gained.  At the end of the 13th day, the cat would be 52 feet up.  The next day, the cat would climb the last 11 feet, making the daily drop for that day irrelevant.\n\nSecond question:  20 feet.  The fact that this is a cylinder makes the puzzle seem harder than it really is.  If you were to peel and flatten the ouside of the cylinder (think of turning a globe into a map), you would see that the squirrel is travel on a diagonal that goes across three feet for every four feet it goes up.  You can draw the imaginary "across" and "up" lines making a right triangle with the squirrel's "diagonal" path.  It's a classic 3-4-5 right triangle, making each circuit 5 feet in length.  Since it takes such circuits to reach the top, he will travel a total of 20 feet.\n\nThird question:  3.  In the first two pulls, you either end up with two blue socks, two grey socks, or one of each.  If you get one of each, the third sock you pull will match one of the two.

Tom baked 4 batches of fairy cakes. Each batch consisted of x cakes. He put 3 cherries on top of each cake in the first batch, but couldn't resist taking off and eating 5 of them. He did the same again with the second batch, then the third, then the fourth! Meanwhile, Sarah baked 5 batches of fairy cakes, again with x cakes in each batch. She put 2 cherries on each cake and an extra two on the final one. She repeated this procedure with each of the batches. She managed to resist eating any at all! Tom and Sarah discovered that Tom's cakes had exactly the same number of cherries in total as Sarah's. Set up an equation for this.\n\nThen: \n\nNumber of cherries on Tom's cakes = 4(3x-5)\nNumber of cherries on Sarah's cakes=5(2x+4)\n\nBut number of cherries is equal so:\n\n4(3x-5)=5(2x+4)\n\nPhew!! I think that works!! Lol!

1.Rental per day: $19.50, let’s call this “Rd”\n2.Charge per mile traveled: $0.26, let’s call this “Cm”\n3.Total payment: $39.00; let’s call this “Pt”\n4.Total miles traveled: “X”\n\nSo, the equation should be: Total charges ($39) minus the Charge per day (19.50) and the difference dived by the charge per mile.\n\nThat is: X = (Pt – Rd) / Cm\n\nTherefore, X = (39.00 – 19.50) / 0.26\n\nWhich is: X = 19.50 / 0.26 = 75\n\nSo the driver put seventy-five miles in one day.

Distance = Speed * Time.\nWe don't know the "distance" variable for either. We need to find the "time" at which the "distance" will be the same. Let distance = d\n\nWe want to find Thomas's time, so let Thomas's time = t.\nAlexis left 3 hours earlier, so her time is t + 3.\n\nThomas speed is 30, Alexis is 20. So lets fill this in.\nThomas:\nD = 30t\nAlexis:\nD = 20(t+3)\n\nThe distance will be the same, so the D in both equations is the same variable. A basic principle is that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.  Therefore, we can combine the equations for the two people as follows:\n30t = 20(t+3)\n30t = 20t + 60\n10t = 60\nt = 6 hrs\n\n\nThe same applies to the second.\nTimothy:\nD = 58t\nSavanah:\nD = 47(t+2)\n\n58t = 47(t+2)\n58t = 47t + 94\n11t = 94\nt = 8 6/11 OR 8.5454545454545\nt = 8 hours, 32 minutes, 43 seconds\n\n\n\nThe last one is slightly different.\nJet 1 Distance = 331t\nJet 2 Distance = 333t\nThe two distances aren't equal this time, but the two distances added up will equal 1,705, SO:\n331t + 333t = 1705\n664t = 1705\nt = 1705/664 = 2 377/664 = 2.56777108\nt = 2 hrs, 34 minutes, 4 seconds

They ran for 20 mph for 1 minute. In this time, they covered 1/3 of a mile. This means that for the other 9 2/3 miles, they ran at 35 mph.\nThis means their time for that part was 29/105 hours. Add in the 1 minute to get 29/105 + 1/60 to get 41/140 hours as their time. We take 10 divided by this to get their average speed, which is 1400/41 mph, which is approximately 34.14634146 mph.
