darcy lives 1.5 miles from work . she can walk to work at a constant rate of 3 miles per hour , or she can ride the train to work at a constant rate of 20 miles per hour . if she rides the train , there is an additional x minutes spent walking to the nearest train station , waiting for the train , and walking from the final train station to her work . if it takes darcy a total of 2 more minutes to commute to work by walking than it takes her to commute to work by riding the train , what is the value of x ?
"the time it takes darcy to walk to work is ( 1.5 / 3 ) * 60 = 30 minutes the time it takes darcy to take the train is ( 1.5 / 20 ) * 60 + x = 4.5 + x minutes it takes 15 minutes longer to walk , so 30 = 4.5 + x + 2 x = 23.5 minutes answer : e"

"when x is divided by 12 , the remainder is 5 : so , the possible values of x are : 5 , 17 , 29 , 41 , etc . when x is divided by 13 , the remainder is 3 : so , the possible values of x are : 3 , 16,29 . . . stop . since both lists include 29 , the smallest possible value of x is 29 . when y is divided by 14 , the remainder is 5 : so , the possible values of y are : 5 , 19 , 33,47 etc . when y is divided by 7 , the remainder is 5 : so , the possible values of y are : 5 , 19 . . . stop . since both lists include 19 , the smallest possible value of y is 19 since the smallest possible values of x and y are 29 and 19 respectively , the smallest possible value of x + y is 48 . so , d is the correct answer to the original question ."

to fill a tank , 25 buckets of water is required . how many buckets of water will be required to fill the same tank if the capacity of the bucket is reduced to 1 / 2 of its present ?
"let capacity of 1 bucket = x capacity of the tank = 25 x new capacity of the bucket = 1 x / 2 hence , number of buckets needed = 25 x / ( 1 x / 2 ) = ( 25 Γ— 2 ) / 1 = 50 answer is e ."

how many of the positive divisors of 480 are also multiples of 4 not including 480 ?
"480 = 2 ^ 6 * 3 * 5 = ( 4 ) * 2 ^ 3 * 3 * 5 besides ( 4 ) , the exponents of 2 , 3 , and 5 are 3 , 1 , and 1 . there are ( 3 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) = 16 ways to make multiples of 4 . we must subtract 1 because one of these multiples is 480 . the answer is a ."
