steve traveled the first 2 hours of his journey at 40 mph and the last 3 hours of his journey at 90 mph . what is his average speed of travel for the entire journey ?
"answer average speed of travel = total distance travelled / total time taken total distance traveled by steve = distance covered in the first 2 hours + distance covered in the next 3 hours . distance covered in the first 2 hours = speed * time = 40 * 2 = 80 miles . distance covered in the next 3 hours = speed * time = 90 * 3 = 270 miles . therefore , total distance covered = 80 + 270 = 350 miles . total time taken = 2 + 3 = 5 hours . hence , average speed = total distance travelled / total time taken = 350 / 5 = 70 miles per hour . choice d"

in march mrs bil ' s earnings were 80 percent of the bil family ' s total income . in april mrs bil earned 10 percent more than in may . if the rest of the family ' s income was the same both months , then , in june , mrs bil ' s earnings were approximately what percent of the bil family ' s total income ?
lets say the family income is 100 in may , lee earned 80 family income is 20 in june , lee earned 20 % more than may , so it is ( 80 + 20 * 80 / 100 = 96 ) family income is same 20 in june lee ' s income percent is 96 * 100 / 116 ~ 83 ans is a

machine z takes 2 more hours than machine b to make 20 widgets . if working together , the machines can make 25 widgets in 3 hours , how long will it take machine z to make 40 widgets ?
i approached this one by plugging in numbers . . . started with c . if 40 are made in 8 hours , then 20 are made in 4 hours . so time of z is 4 , and time of b is 2 . rate together : 20 / 4 + 20 / 2 = 5 + 10 = 15 . so in 1 hour , together make 15 widgets . in 3 hours = 45 . way too much . we can eliminate right away c , b , and a - because b and a reduces the time - the total # of widgets made will be even higher . now between d and e - > try only one . . if it does n ' t work , then the other one is the answer . i picked e : 12 h to make 40 widgets , and 6 hours to make 20 . this is the time of z . time of b = 4 hours . 20 / 6 + 20 / 4 = 10 / 3 + 20 / 4 find lcm of 3 and 4 = 12 . multiply first by 4 , and second by 3 : 40 + 60 / 12 = 100 / 12 divide by 4 : 25 / 3 so this is the rate given . e is the correct answer

what is the difference between the place value of 2 in the numeral 7669 ?
answer : option ' e ' 600 - 60 = 540
a = 2 * 3 b = a * 100 c = 2 * 3 d = c * 10 e = b - d
a ) 5 , b ) 7 , c ) 9 , d ) 10 , e ) 12
b
divide(770, divide(multiply(multiply(10, 770), divide(add(const_100, 10), const_100)), subtract(multiply(770, divide(add(const_100, 10), const_100)), 770)))
machine a and machine b are each used to manufacture 770 sprockets . it takes machine a 10 hours longer to produce 770 sprockets than machine b . machine b produces 10 percent more sprockets per hour than machine a . how many sprockets per hour does machine a produces ?
"machine b : takes x hours to produce 770 sprockets machine a : takes ( x + 10 ) hours to produce 770 sprockets machine b : in 1 hour , b makes 770 / x sprockets machine a : in 1 hour , a makes 770 / ( x + 10 ) sprockets equating : 1.1 ( 770 / ( x + 10 ) ) = 770 / x 847 / ( x + 10 ) = 770 / x 847 x = 770 x + 7700 77 x = 7700 x = 100 a makes 770 / ( 110 ) = 7 sprockets per hour answer : b"
a = 10 * 770 b = 100 + 10 c = b / 100 d = a * c e = 100 + 10 f = e / 100 g = 770 * f h = g - 770 i = d / h j = 770 / i
