a manufacturer produces a certain men ' s athletic shoe in integer sizes from 8 to 17 . for this particular shoe , each unit increase in size corresponds to a 1 / 5 - inch increase in the length of the shoe . if the largest size of this shoe is 40 % longer than the smallest size , how long , in inches , is the shoe in size 15 ?
let x be the length of the size 8 shoe . then 0.4 x = 9 / 5 x = 4.5 inches the size 15 shoe has a length of 4.5 + 7 / 5 = 5.9 inches the answer is b .

how many internal diagonals does a hexagon ( six sided polygon ) have ?
"number of diagonals in any polygon can be found using this formula : n ( n - 3 ) / 2 here n = 6 no . of diagonals = 6 ( 6 - 3 ) / 2 = 9 ans d"

running at their respective constant rate , machine x takes 2 days longer to produce w widgets than machines y . at these rates , if the two machines together produce 5 w / 4 widgets in 3 days , how many days would it take machine x alone to produce 3 w widgets .
"i am getting 12 . e . hope havent done any calculation errors . . approach . . let y = no . of days taken by y to do w widgets . then x will take y + 2 days . 1 / ( y + 2 ) + 1 / y = 5 / 12 ( 5 / 12 is because ( 5 / 4 ) w widgets are done in 3 days . so , x widgets will be done in 12 / 5 days or 5 / 12 th of a widget in a day ) solving , we have y = 4 = > x takes 6 days to doing x widgets . so , he will take 18 days to doing 3 w widgets . answer : c"
