"since we know the distance ( 450 ) and the combined rate ( 100 ) , we plug it into the formula : distance = rate * time 450 = 100 * time we can solve for the time they will meet cause we added the rate of train a and train b together . so the time will be 450 / 100 from dividing 100 on both sides to isolate time in the equation above . time will be 4.5 hours so now you can plug that in for train a ’ s distance . distance = rate * time distance = 50 * 4.5 distance = 225 according to answer choice e ."

a rectangular cube has sides measuring 15 inches long by 12 inches wide by 2 inches high . if the surface area of the rectangle is the same as a cube , what do the sides / walls of the cube measure ? round to the nearest whole number .
first calculate the surface area of the rectangle by multiplying the length and width of the rectangle together , then multiply by 2 to get both sides of the rectangle . this calculates to 360 inches . find the surface area of the sides of the rectangular cube . multiply the height by the length of the rectangle . multiply the answer by 2 ( for the 2 sides on the rectangular cube ) . this calculates to 60 inches . then multiply the width of the rectangle by the height . multiply the answer by 2 ( for the 2 sides on the rectangular cube ) . this calculates to 48 inches . add the totals together to get the rectangular cube surface area of 468 inches . since a square cube has 6 sides - divide the surface area by 6 . this calculates to 78 inches as the surface area of each side of the cube . the square root of 78 is 8.831 . rounding to the nearest whole number that makes each side of the cube measuring 9 inches . the correct answer is ( c ) .

a white paper 2 inches wide is placed around a rectangular black paper with dimensions 8 inches by 12 inches . what is the area of the white paper , in square inches ?
this question is an example of a ' punch out ' question - we have to find the area of everything , then ' punch out ' the part that we do n ' t want . we ' re told that a white paper 2 inches wide is placed around a rectangular black paper with dimensions 8 inches by 12 inches . we ' re asked for the area of the frame , in square inches . area of a rectangle = ( length ) ( width ) so the area of the black paper is . . . ( 8 ) ( 12 ) = 96 the white paper ' adds ' 2 inches to the top , bottom , left and right ' sides ' of the picture , so the area of everything is . . . ( 8 + 2 + 2 ) ( 12 + 2 + 2 ) = ( 12 ) ( 16 ) = 196 when we ' punch out ' the area of the black paper , we ' ll be left with the area of the white paper : 192 - 96 = 96 final answer : b
a = 8 * 2 b = 12 * a

gcd(subtract(4351, 8), subtract(5161, 10))
find the greatest number which on dividing 4351 and 5161 , leaves a reminder of 8 and 10 respectively
"explanation : in this type of question , its obvious we need to calculate the hcf , trick is hcf of ( 4351 - 8 ) and ( 5161 - 10 ) = hcf ( 4343 , 5151 ) = 101 option d"
a = 4351 - 8 b = 5161 - 10 c = math.gcd(a, b)

divide(add(1340, 15), subtract(6, const_1))
the difference of two numbers is 1340 . on dividing the larger number by the smaller , we get 6 as quotient and the 15 as remainder . what is the smaller number ?
"let the smaller number be x . then larger number = ( x + 1340 ) . x + 1340 = 6 x + 15 5 x = 1325 x = 265 smaller number = 265 . a )"
a = 1340 + 15 b = 6 - 1 c = a / b

divide(multiply(choose(5, 2), choose(1, 1)), choose(add(add(5, 4), 1), 1))
a jar contains only red , yellow , and orange marbles . if there are 1 red , 5 yellow , and 4 orange marbles , and 3 marbles are chosen from the jar at random without replacing any of them , what is the probability that 2 yellow , 1 red , and no orange marbles will be chosen ?
"i started by finding the 2 probabilities , without calculation , like this : p ( yyr ) p ( yry ) p ( ryy ) i calculated the first one and ended in 1 / 22 . i looked at the answer choices at this point and saw answer d : 1 / 45 . this helped me realise that for the 3 possible orderings the probabbility is the same . so , it should be ( 1 / 45 ) * ( 1 ) , which indeed is 1 / 45 . b"

divide(add(multiply(6, const_12), 8), 4)
a scale 6 ft . 8 inches long is divided into 4 equal parts . find the length of each part .
"explanation : total length of scale in inches = ( 6 * 12 ) + 8 = 80 inches length of each of the 4 parts = 80 / 4 = 20 inches answer : a"

subtract(add(floor(divide(subtract(99, 59), 3)), divide(subtract(99, 59), 2)), floor(divide(subtract(99, 59), multiply(const_2, const_3))))
if w is the set of all the integers between 59 and 99 , inclusive , that are either multiples of 3 or multiples of 2 or multiples of both , then w contains how many numbers ?
multiples of 2 from 59 to 99 = multiples of 2 from 1 to 99 - multiples of 2 from 1 to 58 = [ 99 / 2 ] - [ 58 / 2 ] = 49 - 29 = 20 multiples of 3 from 59 to 99 = multiples of 3 from 1 to 99 - multiples of 3 from 1 to 58 = [ 99 / 3 ] - [ 58 / 3 ] = 33 - 169 = 14 multiples of 2 and 3 bothi . e . 6 from 59 to 99 = multiples of 6 from 1 to 99 - multiples of 6 from 1 to 58 = [ 99 / 6 ] - [ 58 / 6 ] = 16 - 9 = 7 these 8 numbers have been counted twice in both the above calculation while calculating multiples of 2 and 3 i . e . total numbers in w = 20 + 14 - 7 = 27 answer option a
a = 99 - 59 b = a / 3 c = math.floor(b) d = 99 - 59 e = d / 2 f = c + e g = 99 - 59 h = 2 * 3 i = g / h j = math.floor(i) k = f - j
