He needs 1.5 hours to move through the 15 km-long traffic jam. Next, an 80 km stretch of slow traffic that travels at 40 km/hour follows. He can only travel through the final segment at an average speed of 190 km/hour due to how congested it is. How much time does Leonardo need to drive back?
In Venice, Rafael counts 23 boats. There are 14 persons on each of the 2 boats. Four persons are aboard one-third of the remaining vessels. On each of the half of the unspecified boats, there are 3 persons on board. On each of the remaining boats, there are two persons. How many people, all boats put together, are there?
Explanation:
Solution:
Total 23 boats
2 boats * 14 pers. = 28 persons
23 – 2 = 21 boats left
1/3 * 21 boats = 7 boats
7 boats * 4 pers. = 28 persons
21 – 7 = 14 boats left
½ * 14 = 7 boats
7 boats * 3 pers. = 21 person
14 -7 = 7 boats over
7 * 2 = 14 persons
Total = 28 + 28 + 21 + 14 = 91 persons
