The first flight leaves Airport A every hour, beginning at 8:00 a.m, and arrives at Airport B 2.5 hours later. The second flight leaves Airport B every 20 minutes, beginning at 8:00 a.m., and arrives at Airport C 1 1/6 hours later. The third flight leaves Airport C every hour, beginning at 8:45 a.m.

we have AB = 5 and BC=10
side BD=CD = a
sqrt(2a^2) = 100 => a = 10/sqrt(2) = 7.071
AC = sqrt((7.071+5)^2 + 7.071^2) = 14
One-third of a cement mixture that was 20 percent sand by weight was replaced by a second cement mixture of equal weight, resulting in a new mixture that was 25 percent sand by weight. The second cement mixture was what percent sand by weight ?
Each year, 1/6 of the old machines in a factory are replaced with new machines that will remain in use for five years. Approximately what percent of the old machines still remain after two years?
A) 86% B) 77% C) 73% D) 71% E) 69%
Yes, the ansewer is E,
I make equation: 3 + 10*n = 4 + 15 * m where m,n is 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
and I have problem with analize - m, n must cover all week: 0 ...17 - I thing it is impossible to analyze by 2 min. I find more simpler solutions.
Buses leave town B at 3pm and every 10 hours after that. Buses leave town C at 4pm and every 15 hours after that. If the buses follow this schedule begining on Monday, what is the earliest day on wchich the buses leave at the same time ?
A) Tuesday
B) Wednesday
C) Thursday

Xavier, Yvonne and Zelda each try independently to solve a problem. If their individual probabilities for success are 1/4, 1/2 and 5/8, respectively, what is the probability that Xavier and Yvonne, but not Zelda will solve the problem ?
A)11/8 B)7/8 C)9/64 D)5/64 E)3/64
(1) A/X = N + 11 => A = N*X + 11 -------first number
(2) B/X = M + 21 => B = M*X + 21 ------ second number
X - divisor, N, M - integer
A + B = N * X + M * X + 32 = (N + M)* X + 28 + 4
THEN X MUST BE 28
m is the quantity of milk
x is the percentage of milk in the mixture
A milkman sells the mixture at the same price ($3/liter) as before and makes a profit of 20%.
we have: 1.2*3*m = 3(m + 5) => m=25 liter
and milkman makes the mixture as: 5*x = m*(100-x) = 25*(100-x) => x= 83.33
