-algebra problems that deal with the ages of people currently, in the past or in the future.
-when solving this problems, you need to represent the following in terms of a variable:
MIXTURE PROBLEMS
- suppose we have a container with A liters with x% solution. Adding B liters with y% solution to
the container will result to (A+B) liters with z% solution.
- suppose we have a container with A liters with x% solution. Removing B liters with y% solution
in the container will result to (A – B) liters with z% solution.
WORK PROBLEMS
RATE ANALYSIS
1
- if a man can finish a certain job in x days, then his rate of work per days is Rate=
x
Let’s assume we have two men working (pipes, machines, etc): Man A and Man B
Man A can finish a job in x hours when working alone. Man B can finish a job in y hours when working
alone. The number of hours they need to complete the job when they’re both working at the same
1
z=
time is given by: 1 1
+
x y
1 1 1 1 1
Rate of Work per day when the two men working together is
x y z x y (
+ = or + ( z ) =1 )
NOTE: z is the number of works or days man A and man B finished the work together.
In general, if there are n men working together and if they complete it in z days, then
1 1 1 1
+ + …+ =
x1 x 2 xn z
MAN-HOUR ANALYSIS
- multiply the number of men working in a job to the time they will take to finish the job
together
20 men can cute 30 trees in 4 hours. If 4 men leave the job, how many trees will be cut in 6 hours?
Solution
(20)( 4) (16)(6)
=
(30) x
x=36
MOTION PROBLEMS
D=( v o+ v w )(t)
D=d A +d B
CASE IV: Distance between two objects travelling at the same time in the same direction.
CLOCK PROBLEMS
-Each five minute mark is subtends an angle of 30 ° from the center of the clock
To solve for the number of minutes if given the reference angle and the required angle
2
t min = (∠ Ref ±∠ Req)
11
NOTE: One minute space = hands at 6° ; 30 minute space = hands opposite each other
DIGIT PROBLEMS
SUM OF DIGITS : t + u
NUMBER PROBLEMS
