Question Sheet RATE PROBLEMS ( Ratios, Proportions and Direct and Inverse Variation) The general rate formula: Quantity A x rate r = quantity B Virtually ,all motion problems involve the formula Distance=Rate Time, or

D= R x T 1- Scott starts jogging from point X to point Y. A half-hour later his friend Garrett who jogs 1 mile per hour slower than twice Scotts rate starts from the same point and follows the same path. If Garrett overtakes Scott in 2 hours, how many miles will Garrett have covered?

(A) 215

(B) 313

(C) 4

(D) 6

(E) 623

2- In this type of problem, two people start at the same point and travel in opposite directions. The key to these problems is that the total distance traveled is the sum of the individual distances traveled. Two people start jogging at the same point and time but in opposite directions. If the rate of one jogger is 2 mph faster than the other and after 3 hours they are 30 miles apart, what is the rate of the faster jogger? (A) 3 (B) 4 (C) 5 (D) 6 (E) 7

3- The formula for work problems is Work = Rate Time, or W = R T. The amount of work done is usually 1 unit. Hence, the formula becomes 1 = R T . Solving this for R gives R = 1/I If Johnny can mow the lawn in 30 minutes and with the help of his brother, Bobby, they can mow the lawn 20 minutes, how long would it take Bobby working alone to mow the lawn? (A) hours (B) hours (C) 1 hours (D) 3/2 hours (E) 2 hours

4- ILet t be the time it takes the boys, working together, to assemble the model car. Then their combined rate is 1/t and their individual rates are 1/30 and 1/20. Now their combined rate is merely the sum of their individual rates: (A) 12 (B) 14 (C) 15 (D) 16 (E) 17

5- A tank is being drained at a constant rate. If it takes 3 hours to drain 6/7 of its capacity, how much longer will it take to drain the tank completely? (A) 1/2 hour (B) 3/4 hour (C) 1 hour (D) 3/2 hours (E) 2 hours
