There are between 5 and 10 practice items per section, totalling problems. These are more difficult and take you a step beyond the other practice questions. As you might expect, the easier content areas have no challenge questions, while the more difficult ones have almost all challenge questions. The benefits of this structure, I think, are obvious. Unlike most books, in which you do a random sequence of questions every day, learning a technique then forgetting about it for a week, this one gives you test-like review for every 2 Copyright Jeff Sackmann www.
Every one! If it already existed, I would be using it with all of my students; heck, some of my students could probably have gotten by with only the book. Sticking to a steady preperation schedule is enough. In fact, rates are essentially the same as ratios, with one key difference.
Ratios express the relationship between two like things: if the ratio of men to women is 3 : 4, we may separate people into two segments, but they are all people. Rates, on the other hand, express the relationship between two unlike things. The most common type of rate is speed. But a relationship is, in fact, what it is. You will see plenty of rates that express some form of speed, such as: miles per hour widgets per day dollars per month However, a rate can consist of any relationship of two unlike things.
The techniques discussed in that section work just as well here. What was her average speed for the entire mile trip? Accordingly, most people are wrong. The formula for average speed is just like that for any other type of rate. Total miles in this case is easy: miles. Total hours takes more effort. Thus, total hours is 4. The key is the times that we solved for.
Karen spent more time driving at the slower speed, so her average speed was closer to 40 than For more on weighted averages, consult the chapter specifically covering that topic. But most importantly, you need to remember that to solve for an average speed, you must calculate total distance and total time, as we did working through this example.
The other type of combined rate problem involves two objects moving toward each other. Or, in another variation, one catching up with the other. If Train X leaves Station A moving at 20 miles per hour and Train Y leaves Station B at the same time moving at 30 miles per hour along a parallel track, how long will the trains travel before they meet?
After one hour, Train X will have traveled 20 miles, and Train Y will have traveled 30 miles. So after that first hour, the trains are 50 miles closer to each other than they were when they started. Another way to put that is to say that the trains are converging at 50 miles per hour. The math involved is very simple.
The variation—one object catching up with another—is very similar. Sara is driving at a constant rate of 30 miles per hour, while Ron is driving at a constant rate of 40 miles per hour. If Ron is currently 5 miles behind Sara, at what point will Ron catch up with Sara? What matters is how fast Ron catches up. The final step is identical to that of the train example above. We want to know when Ron will make up 5 miles, and he makes up 10 miles per hour.
Given that information, Ron will catch up in a half hour. In 8 hours, a factory produces , wing nuts. How many wing nuts does the factory produce per hour?
