john and jacob set out together on bicycle traveling at 18 and 15 miles per hour , respectively . after 40 minutes , john stops to fix a flat tire . if it takes john one hour to fix the flat tire and jacob continues to ride during this time , how many hours will it take john to catch up to jacob assuming he resumes his ride at 18 miles per hour ?

a math teacher has 24 cards , each of which is in the shape of a geometric figure . half of the cards are rectangles , and a third of the cards are rhombuses . if 8 cards are squares , what is the maximum possible number of cards that re circles .

increasing the original price of a certain item by 15 percent and then increasing the new price by 15 percent is equivalent to increasing the original price by what percent ?
