• John and Paul started jogging at constant speeds from their houses in opposite
directions.
• John jogged at a speed of 100 m/min. At the end of 20 minutes, they were
3800 m apart. Find Paul’s jogging speed in m/min.
1 min = 100 m
20 min = 2000 m

• Machine A took 1 h 15 min to produce some toys. Machine B took 1 h 30 minutes to produce the same
number of toys. Machine B produce 10 fewer toys per minute.
• How many toys did Machine A produce per minute?
1 h 15 min = 75 min
1 h 30 min = 90 min
A x 75 = (A-10) x 90
75 A = 90 A – 900
900 = 90 A – 75 A
900 = 15 A
A = 60
• Town A and Town B are 450 km apart. A van travels at a constant speed of 80 km/h from
Town A to Town B. At the same time, a lorry travels at a constant speed of 70 km/h from
Town B to Town A. How far would the van have travelled when they meet?
S = 450 km
V van = 80 km/h
V lorry = 70 km/h
Total speed = 80 + 70 = 150 km/h
Time = s /v = 450 / 150 = 3 h
S van = t x v = 3 h x 80 km/h = 240 km
• John and Paul were playing cards. At first, the ratio of the number of cards John had to the number of cards
