Problem 1 :
The sum of a number and its reciprocal is 65/8. Find the number
Problem 2 :
The difference of the squares of two positive numbers is 45. The square of the smaller number is four times the larger number. Find the numbers.
Problem 3 :
A farmer wishes to start a 100 sq.m rectangular vegetable garden. Since he has only 30 m barbed wire, he fences the sides of the rectangular garden letting his house compound wall acts the fourth side fence. Find the dimension of the garden.
Problem 4 :
A rectangular field is 20 m long and 14 m wide. There is the path of equal width all around it having an area of 111 sq.m. Find the width of the path on the outside.
Problem 5 :
A train covers a distance of 90 km at a uniform speed. Had the speed been 15 km/hr more, it would have taken 30 minutes less for the journey. Find the original speed of the train
1) So, the required number is 8.
2) Therefore the required numbers are 9 and 6.
3)
length of garden = 10 m and
width of the garden = 5 m.
4) Therefore width of the path = 1.5 m.
5) Therefore speed of the train is 45 km/hr.
Problem 1 :
If the difference between a number and its reciprocal is ²⁴⁄₅, find the number.
Problem 2 :
A garden measuring 12m by 16m is to have a pedestrian pathway that is w meters wide installed all the way around so that it increases the total area to 285 m2. What is the width of the pathway?
Problem 3 :
A bus covers a distance of 90 km at a uniform speed. Had the speed been 15 km/hr more, it would have taken 30 minutes less for the journey. Find the original speed of the bus.
Problem 4 :
John and Jivanti together had 45 marbles. Both of them lost 5 marbles each, and the product of the number of marbles they have now is 124. Find the number marbles each one them had initially.
Problem 5 :
A cottage industry produces a certain number of toys in a day. The cost of production of each toy (in dollars) was found to be 55 minus the number of toys produced in a day, the total cost of production was $750. Find the number of toys produced on that day.
Problem 6 :
The diagonal of a rectangular field is 60 meters more than the shorter side. If the longer side is 30 meters more than the shorter side, find the sides of the field.
Problem 7 :
The difference of squares of two positive numbers is 180. The square of the smaller number is 8 times the larger number. Find the two numbers.
Problem 8 :
A train travels 360 miles at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 miles/hr more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train.
Problem 9 :
Find two consecutive positive even integers whose squares have the sum 340.
Problem 10 :
The sum of squares of three consecutive natural numbers is 194. Determine the numbers.
1) The required numbers are 5 and 1/5
2) the width of the pathway is 1.5 m.
3) the original speed of the bus is 45 km per hour.
4) So, John had 36 marbles, when Jivanti had 9 marbles or Jivanti had 36 marbles, when John had 9 marbles.
5) the number of toys produced on that particular day is 30 or 25.
6)
length of the shorter side = 90 m
length of the longer side = 90 + 30 = 120 m
7) the larger number is 18 and the smaller number is 12.
8) the original speed of the train is 40 miles/hr.
9) the two positive even integers are 12 and 14.
10) the three consecutive natural numbers are 7, 8 and 9.
