1. On his drive from Monteploer, Vermont, to Columbia, South Carolina, Dylan Davis averaged 51mph. If he had been able to average 60mph, he would have reached his destination 3 hr earlier. What is the driving distance between Monteplier and Columbia?

2.On the first part of the trip to carmel traveling on the freeway, Marge averaged 60mph. On the rest of the trip, which was 10mi longer than first part, she averaged 50mph. Find the total distance to Carmal if the second part of the trip took 30 min more than first part.

3.Dixie can paint a room in 3hr.Trixie can do the same room in 6 hr. How long after dixie stars to paint the room will it be finished if Trixie joins her 1 hr later.

4. If a vat of acid can be filled by an inlet pipe in 10hr and emptied by an outlet pipe in 20 hr, how long will it take to fill the vat if both pipes are open?

1.
Let x miles be the driving distance between the two cities.

Driving time when averaged 51 mph = (x/51) h
Driving time when averaged 60 mph = (x/60) h

(x/51) = (x/60) + 3

Multiply all terms on the both sides by 3060:
60x = 51x + 9180
9x = 9180
x = 1020

The driving distance between the two cities
= 1020 miles.

2.
Let y miles be the distance of the first part of the trip.
Then, the distance of the second part of the trip = (y + 10) miles

Time taken for the first part of the trip = (y/60) h
Time taken for the second part of the trip = [(y + 10)/50] h
30 min = (30/60) h

[(y + 10)/50] = (y/60) + (30/60)

Multiply all terms on the both sides by 300:
6(y + 10) = 5y + 150
6y + 60 = 5y + 150
y = 90

The total distance
= [y + (y + 10)] miles
= [90 + (90 + 10)] miles
= 190 miles

=====
3.
Let t hours be the time taken after Dixie starts to paint the room.

Then, working time of Dixie = t hours
and working time of Trixie = (t – 1) hours

Fraction of the job finished when Dixie paints for 1 h = 1/3
Fraction of the job finished when Trixie paints for 1 h = 1/6

(1/3)t + (1/6)(t – 1) = 1

Multiply all terms on the both sides by 6:
2t + (t – 1) = 6
2t + t – 1 = 6
3t = 7
t = 2and(1/3)

Time taken to finish painting the room after Dixie starts to paint
= 2and(1/3) hours

=====
4.
Let t hours be the time taken to fill the vat if both pipes are open.

Fraction of the vat to be filled when only the inlet pipe is open = 1/10
Fraction of the vat to be emptied when only the outlet pipe is open = 1/20

(1/10)t – (1/20)t = 1

Multiply all terms on the both sides by 20:
2t – t = 20
t = 20

Time taken to fill the vat if both pipes are open
= 20 hours
