Question: the speed at which a man can row a boat in still water is 22 kmph . if he rows downstream , where the speed of current is 3 kmph , what time will he take to cover 80 metres ?
A.12.59.
B.11.53.
C.15.69.
D.14.56.
e ) 18.98B.
speed of the boat downstream = 22 + 3 = 25 kmph = 25 * 5 / 18 = 6.94 m / s hence time taken to cover 80 m = 80 / 6.94 = 11.53 seconds . answer : b | null |
Question: on a certain day , orangeade was made by mixing a certain amount of orange juice with an equal amount of water . on the next day , orangeade was made by mixing the same amount of orange juice with twice the amount of water . on both days , all the orangeade that was made was sold . if the revenue from selling the orangeade was the same for both days and if the orangeade was sold at $ 0.70 per glass on the first day , what was the price per glass on the second day ?

e ) 125E.
we are first given that a team won 75 percent of its first 100 games . this means the team won 0.75 x 100 = 75 games out of its first 100 games . we are next given that the team won 50 percent of its remaining games . if we use variable t to represent the total number of games in the season , then we can say t β 100 equals the number of remaining games in the season . thus we can say : 0.5 ( t β 100 ) = number of wins for remaining games 0.5 t β 50 = number of wins for remaining games lastly , we are given that team won 70 percent of all games played in the season . that is , they won 0.7 t games in the entire season . with this we can set up the equation : number of first 100 games won + number of games won for remaining games = total number of games won in the entire season 75 + 0.5 t β 50 = 0.7 t 25 = 0.2 t 250 = 2 t 125 = t answer is e . | null |
