set a of 8 positive integers may have the same element and have 35 . and set b of 8 positive integers must have different elements and have 35 . when m and n are the greatest possible differences between 35 and other elements ’ sums in set a and set b , respectively , m - n = ?
this is maximum - minimum . hence , 35 - ( 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ) = 28 and 35 - ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 ) = 7 . so , 28 - 7 = 21 . the correct answer is e .

a car traveled 462 miles per tankful of gasoline on the highway and 336 miles per tankful of gasoline in the city . if the car traveled 9 fewer miles per gallon in the city than on the highway , how many miles per gallon did the car travel in the city ?
"i treat such problems as work ones . work = rate * time mileage ( m ) = rate ( mpg ) * gallons ( g ) x gallons is a full tank { 462 = rx { 336 = ( r - 9 ) x solve for r , r = 33 33 - 9 = 24 mpg d"

karen places a bet with tom that she will beat tom in a car race by 4 miles even if karen starts 4 minutes late . assuming that karen drives at an average speed of 60 mph and tom drives at an average speed of 45 mph , how many q miles will tom drive before karen wins the bet ?
"let k and t be the speeds of karen and tom respectively . t be the time that karen will travel - - - - > t + 4 / 60 will be the total time tom will travel by the time the distance between karen and tom is 4 miles . thus , per the question , k ( t ) - t ( t + 4 / 60 ) = 4 - - - > t = 7 / 15 hours thus the distance trav...
