pumps are working together? 5. A car takes 6 h to reach Jaipur from Delhi when moving at a speed of \( 90 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h} \). How long would it take to cover the same distance if it was moving at a speed of \( 120 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h} \) ? How far will it travel in 90 minutes? 6. A can do a piece of work in 3 days, \( B \) can do it in 6 days. How long will \( A \) and \( B \) take to complete the work working together?

Step 1
- Given: Speed = \(90 \, \text{km/h}\), Time = \(6 \, \text{hours}\). - Distance = Speed × Time = \(90 \times 6 = 540 \, \text{km}\). Show more…

1. Wilma drove at an average speed of 35 mi/h from her home in City A to visit her sister in City B. She stayed in City B for 15 hours, and on the trip back averaged 50 mi/h. She returned home 45 hours after leaving. How many miles is City A from City B? 2. John wants to get to the bus stop. The bus stop is across a grassy park, 2000 feet west and 600 feet north of his starting position. John can walk west along the edge of the park on the sidewalk at a speed of 6 ft/sec and 4 ft/sec through the grass. How far should he walk on the sidewalk before veering off onto the grass if he wishes to get to the bus stop in exactly 7 min 30 sec? If there is more than one valid answer, list all valid answers as a comma-separated list. 3. A factory is to be built on a lot measuring 300 ft by 400 ft. A local building code specifies that a lawn of uniform width and equal in area to the factory must surround the factory. a. What must the width of the lawn be? b. If the dimensions of the factory are A ft by B ft with A<B, then A= and B= 4. A rectangular plot, 20 ft by 18 ft, is to be used for a garden. It is decided to put a pavement inside the entire border so that 224 square feet of the plot is left for flowers. How wide should the pavement be? Answer: _______ feet. 5. You and your friend part at an intersection. You drive off north at a constant speed, and your friend drives east at a speed that is 6 mph higher. After 3 hours, the distance between you and your friend is 225.21 miles. You have been driving at mph. (Round to the nearest mile). 6. Suppose an object is dropped from a height h0 above the ground. Then its height after t seconds is given by h = -16t^2 + h0, where h is measured in feet. If a ball is dropped from 192 feet above the ground, how long does it take to reach ground level? Your answer is _________ seconds. 7. How much 90 percent vinegar do you have to add to a gallon of 5 percent vinegar to get 20 percent vinegar? _________ gallons. 8.
