If I went halfway to a town 60 km away at the speed of 30 km/hour, how fast do I have to go the rest of the way to have an average speed of 60 km/hour over the entire trip?
It’s impossible. You need to complete the 60km distance in one hour, and you’ve already been on the road for an hour.
Right now Mummy is 21 years older then her child. In 6 years her child will be 5 times younger than she.Where is Daddy?
Child’s age = CMummy’s age = M = C + 215(C + 6) = M + 6 5(C + 6) = C + 21 + 6 5C + 30 = C + 27 4C = -3 C = -3/4
This pool has 4 taps.
Tap A takes 1 day to fill the pool.
Tap B takes 2 days.
Tap C takes 3 days.
Tap D takes 6 days.
How long would it take to fill the pool if all 4 taps were running simultaneously?
Tap A: 1 pool per day
Tap B: ½ pool per day
Tap C: 1/3 pool per day
Tap D: 1/6 pool per day
Altogether:
6/6 + 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 =
12/6 = 2 pools per day
Time taken to fill one pool at this rate:
½ a day
DiophantusThis tomb tells scientifically the
measure of his life. He was a boy for a sixth of his life; after a further twelfth, his cheeks acquired a beard; He was married after a
further seventh, and in the fifth year after his marriage he fathered a
son. Alas, his son died at only half the span of his father’s life, and
after finding comfort in maths for a further 4 years, he passed away.
