It takes John 25 minutes to walk to the car and 45
minutes to drive to work. At what time should he get out of the house in order to get work at 9:00 a.m.?
Solution:
The time to walk to car park and the time to drive.
25 mins. + 45 mins. = 70 minutes or 1 hour and 10 minutes
It takes John 1 hour and 10 minutes to get to work.
John needs to get out of the house 1 hour and 10 minutes
before 9:00 a.m. at 7:50 a.m.
9:00 a.m. 1:10 a.m. =7:50 a.m.
Problem 4
A factory produced 2,300 TV sets in its first year of
production. 4,500 sets were produced in its second year and 500 more sets were produced in its third year than in its second year. How many TV produced in three years?
Solution:
500 TV sets were produced in the third year than in the
second year. The number of sets produced in the third year is equal to
4,500 + 500 = 5,000
The number of TV sets produced in three years is equal to
sum of the number of TV sets in each year
2,300 + 4,500 + 5,000 = 11,800
