MHB Solve Number Theory Problem to Find Time for Express Bus
My solution: please comment, thank you. Regular Speed = Y Express Speed = 1.2Y Time taken if Regular = x/y + 8(3)/60 (min/hr) if Express = x/1.2y + 3/60 (min/hr) Combining the two equation: we have; x/y + 24/60 = x/1.2y + 3/60 + 40/60 x/y + 24/60 =...- Marcelo Arevalo

MHB Solve Number Theory Problem to Find Time for Express Bus
Is this the continuation of the given data above?? d/v + 24 = 10d/12v + 40 12d + 288v = 10d + 480v 2d = 480v -288v d = 96vfrom 1 : tR = 96v/v + 24 = 120 from 2 : tE = 960v/12v + 40 = 120- Marcelo Arevalo

MHB How many 10-digit numbers can be formed with product of digits equal to 2^{27}?
My son's solution: please comment, thank you. We can only use 4 digits : 1,2,4,8 (2^0 , 2^1, 2^2, 2^3) if we use 9 8's 8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8 and 2^n 2^27 . 2^n = 2^27 2^n = 1 8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,1 only possible digits if true are 9 8's. _8_8_8_8_8_8_8_8_8 = 10 spaces to...- Marcelo Arevalo

MHB Solve Number Theory Problem to Find Time for Express Bus
On a particular bus line, between Station A and Station J, there are 8 other stations. Two types of buses, Express and Regular, are used. The speed of an Express bus is 1.2 times that of a Regular bus. Regular buses stop at every station, while Express buses stop only once. A bus stops for 3...- Marcelo Arevalo

MHB Calculating Speed: Solving a Distance and Time Problem
Using Greg1313 : A------------B----X-----C AB = 24 km + BC = 16 km t = 40 / 60 = 2/3 hr XC = 10 km v = 10 km / 2/3 hr = 15 Kph To Check : AC = 40 / 60 = 2/3 hr XC = 10 / 15 = 2/3 hr AB = 24/60 = 2/5 hr XB = 6/15 = 2/5 hryes.. the speed of Ken's bike is 15 Kph.Thank you all !- Marcelo Arevalo
