Question 10

Two cars, 360 kilometers apart, begin driving toward each other ona long, straight highway. One car travels 80 kilometers per hourand the other 100 kilometers per hour. At the same time, a canary,starting on one car flies back and forth between the two cars asthey approach each other. If the canary flies 120 kilometers perhour and spends no time to turn around at each car, how far has itflown when the cars collide?

Moore Family Feud

Answer 10

AnswerNotice that the speed of the canary is given, so if we have theamount of time the canary is flying then we know the distance thecanary has traveled.

This requires us to shift our focus to theamount of time it takes for the two cars to travel 360 kilometerstogether to the sight of the crash. If we let x represent the time ittakes for the cars to crash (in hours), then we find the 80x and100x represent the distance traveled by each car. This gives us theequation

360 = 80x + 100x360 = 180xx = 2 hours

Now that we have the number of hours before the collision and thespeed of the canary, we find the canary traveled120 · 2 = 240 kilometers.

Question 16

A small city produces 648000 cubic feet of garbage per week. If allof this garbage were stacked neatly (in a vertical pile) on a 100yard by 60 yard football field, how high would the pile be (in feet)?

Moore Family Feud

Answer 16

AnswerFirst note that a football field can also have its dimensions listedas 300 feet by 180 feet. We are searching for the height of thefootball field so we have the following equation

648000 = 300 · 180 · h.

As a result, we find h = 12 feet.
