NUMBER/DIGIT PROBLEM
Three times the first of three consecutive odd integers is three more than twice
the third. Find the number.
The sum of five consecutive even integers is 1,280. Find the product of the lowest
and the largest integers.
A number is less than 100 and its ten digit is 2 more than its units digit. If the
number with the digits reversed is subtracted from the original number, the
remainder is 3 times the sum of the digits. Find the number.
The square of the tens digit of a two-digit number is 7 less than the sum of the
digits. If the digits are transposed the number is increased by 63. Find the
number.
The sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 10. If the number is divided by the
units digit, the quotient is 3 and the remainder is 4. Find the number.
Divide 224 into two parts such that when the larger part is divided by the smaller
part, the quotient is 2 and the remainder is half of the smaller part. Find the
larger part.
The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 17. If the digits are reversed and
the resulting number is added to the original number, the result is 1,474. If the
resulting number is subtracted from the original number, the results is 396. Find
the original number.
The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 12. When the hundreds and tens
digits are interchanged, the number is reduced by 630. But when the hundreds and
units digits are interchanged, the number is reduced only by 495. Find the sum of
the square of the digits.

The time of travel of a falling body varies directly as the square root of the
distance it falls. If the body falls 78.48 meters in 4 seconds, how far will it
travel in 8 seconds?
At constant temperature, the resistance of a wire varies directly as its length and
inversely as the square of its diameter. If a piece of wire 0.10 inch in diameter
and 50 feet long has a resistance of 0.10 ohms, what is the resistance of another
piece of wire of the same material, 2,000 feet long, 0.20 inch in diameter?
The relative angle of twist between the ends of a solid circular rod varies
directly as the product of the applied torque and the length, and inversely as the
fourth power of the diameter. If the angle of twist of a circular rod is 2.23
radians, find the angle of twist on another rod of the same material when the
length, diameter, and the applied torque were halved.
