(B). Never take an average speed by just averaging the two speeds (50 mph and 60 mph). Instead, use the formula Average Speed = Total Distance ~ Total Time. Fortunately, for Quantitative Comparisons, you can often sidestep actual calculations Davis's average speed can be thought ofas anaverage of the speed he was travelingat every single ‘moment during his joumney—for instance, imagine that Davis wrote down the speed he was going during every second he was driving, then he averaged all the seconds, Since Davis spent more ttme going 50 mph than going 60 mph, the average speed wall be closer to 50 than 60, and Quantity B is greater. Ifthe distances are the same, average speed is always weighted towards the slower speed. To actually do the math, picka convenient mmnber for the distance between Amityville and Beteltown —for instance, 300 males (divisible by both 50 and 60). Ifthe distance is 300 mules, it took Davis 6 hows to drive there at 50 mph, and 5 hours to drive backat 60 mph Using Average Speed = Total Distance ~ Total Time (anda total distance of 600 miles, for both parts ofthe journey), you get the following 600 miles 11 hours Average Speed = Average Speed = 54.54...

First, igure out how longit took Claudette to travel 60 miles under the actual conditions. The fstleg ofthe tip was of 60 miles, or 40 miles. To travel 40 miles ata rate of 20 niles per how, Claudette spent #0 = hours = 120 minutes. The second leg ofthe trip was the 20 20 miles, To travel that distance ata rate of 30 miles per hour, Claudette spent remaining 60-40 40 mimutes. In total, Claudette traveled for 120+ 40 = 160 minutes. Now consider the hypothetical trip. If Claudette had traveled the whole distance of 60 miles at 20 miles per hour, the trip would have taken °° = 3 hows = 180 mimes 20 Finally, compare the two trips. The real trip took 160 minutes, so the hypothetical trip would have taken 180 - 160 = 20 mimes longer 10. (C). Do not just average the three speeds, as Rajesh spent more time at slower rates than at higher rates, weighting the average toward the slower rate(s). To compute the average speed fora tip, figure out the total distance and divide by the total time Picka convenient distance from home to school, one that is divisible by 30, 40, and 60—say 120 miles (tough for Rajesh, but easier for you) ‘The first part of the joumey (from home to school) took '20 =4 hours. The second part of the 30 journey took !29 = 3 hours The third part of the joumey took 12 40 60 hous. The total distance Rajesh traveled is 120+ 120 + 120 = 360 miles. The total time was 4+3+2=9 hours. Finally, his average speed for the entire tip was 360 = 40 miles per hour. 9 11, (A).

The question asks by how many pies per hour the baker's rate of pie-maleng increased, so determine his rate for the first 5 hours and his rate inthe last 3 hours. The difference is the ultimate answer Rate for last 3 how's — Rate for frst 5 hours = Increase ‘The rate for the first S hours was 60 pies ~ 5 how's = 12 pies per hour Inthe last 3 hours, the baker made 150 — 60=90 pies.

(C). This question compares an actual scenario with hypothetical one. Start by figuring out the rate (speed) for Brenda's actual walk Since she walked 12 miles in 3 hows, she walked at arate of 12+ 3=4 miles per how. ‘Now, in the hypothetical situation, she would walk the loop two more times, for a total additional distance of 12 x 2=24 miles. Her hypothetical speed would be half of 4 miles per how, or 2 miles per hour, Walking 24 miles ata rate of 2 miles per hour would take Brenda 24 ~ 2= 12 hours. Alternatively, note that both of the changes—doubling the distance and halving the rate—have the same effect Each change makes the trip take twice as longas it would have before. So the time required for this hypothetical situations multiplied by four: 3 x 4 = 1 hours. 16. (C). Inthis “chase” problem, the two vehicles are movingin the same direction, with one chasing the other. To determine how longit will take the rear vehicle to catch up, subtract the rates to find out hhow quickly the rear vehicle is gaining on the one in front ‘The police car gains on the train ata rate of 80 - S030 miles per how.

Because 6 = 4=15, the rate at whichall 6 servers works 1.5 times the rate at which 4 servers work 9,600 searches per how x 1.5 = 14,400 searches per hour Now apply this rate to the given amount of work (216,000 searches), using the I? = RT formula: 216,000 = 14,400 x 7 216,000 ~ 14,400 = 15 hours 19.

Just approximate: 104 21 is about 100 ~ 21 Alternatively, use some infuition to work the answer choices and avoid setting up this problemat all! You can immediately eliminate (A) and (B), since these times exceed either worker's individual time. Also, since Sabrina is the faster worker, Janis’s contribution will be Less than Sabrina’s. The two together won't work twice as fast as Sabrina, but they will work more than twice as fastas Janis ‘Therefore, the total time should be more than half of Sabrina’s individual time, and less than half of Janis’s individual time. 4 how. 3 Z Work | _ Rare | Time (ables) | ~ | (table per hous) (hours) Jenny 1 = 1 x 3 3 Laila 1 = 2 x Es 2 Jenny & 1 =| Jy9 4 x 3 Laila 3 3 7 23, (A), First, igre out the individual rate for 1 worker: 2 violins ~ 3 nimutes= 7 violin per 3 minute.

To find Kurt's wait time, determine how longit will take for 200 people to board the Jelly Coaster. The problem states that 4 people board every 15 seconds, Since there are four 15-second periods in one minute, this rate converts to 16 people per mimute. To find the time, divide the “work” (the people) by this rate 200 people ~ 16 people per minute = 200 ~ 16 = 12.5 minutes ‘The question asks for anapproximation, and the closest answer is (D). In theory there may bean additional 15 seconds while Kurt's group is boarding (the problem doesn't really say), but Kurt's total wait time would still be apprommately 13 minutes 25. (C). To solve a Rates & Work problem with multiple workers, modify the standard formula Work = Rate * Time to this Work = Individual Rate » Monber of Workers x Thine Solve for an individual chef's rate, using the fact that 8 chefs produce 3,200 tarts in 5 days: Work= Individual Rate x Monber of Workers x Thine 200 tarts = (R)(8)(5 days) 0 tarts per day Thatiis, each chef can produce 80 tarts per day.

(C), The question asks (indirectly) how far the two cars traveled, as those distances are necessary to find the distance between them Since the cars go in the same direction, the skeleton equationis as follows Car A's distance ~ Car B's distance = Distance between cars ‘All distances refer to the time when car A ran out of fue. Since the limiting factor in this case is A’s fuel supply, calculate how far the car is able to drive before running out of fuel. This in itsel fis a rate problem of sorts: 30 miles per gallon x 8 gallons = 240 miles So car A will end up 240 miles north ofits starting point, which happens 240 ~ 40 = 6 hours after it started. What about car B? It started an hour later and thus traveled (30 miles per hour)(6 hours — 1 hour) = 150 miles by that time ‘Therefore, the two cars were 240 ~ 150 = 90 miles apart when car A ran out of fuel. 28. (C). Note that choice (D) isa trap.
