Django has just arrived in Supenaam on the Essequibo Coast. Someone is waiting for him with a horse. They will travel on horseback from Supenaam northwards to Better Success at 16MPH, starting at 10:45AM. What time will they reach Better Success?

Good morning

 

12:45 PM

 

 

Correct.

Distance from Supenaam to Better Success = 32 miles.

32 miles divided by 16MPH = 2 hours.

10:45AM + 2 hours = 12:45PM.

You get first prize.

Riya gets second prize.

Congrats!!

Next one.

Riya has to walk from New Amsterdam up the left bank of the Canje River to borrow an Oprah magazine from her friend in Best Coffee Land. Assuming that Riya starts walking at 1:00PM at 3.3 MPH, spends one hour with her friend, and returns at the same rate of speed. What time should we expect her back in New Amsterdam?

That's right.

Distance from New Amsterdam to Best Coffee Land = 9.9 miles

Time to travel outbound = 3 hours

Time to walk back to NA = 3 hours

Time spent with friend   = 1 hour

Total time          = 7 hours

1:00PM + 7 hours = 8:00PM

You and Django clocked in same time with the correct answer.

Congrats to you both.

Yuh all bright in Arithmetic.

That's all for today.

Good morning. Here's a warm-up quiz:

Anjali has got a new Honda Civic and has decided to take a drive from Georgetown to Loo River/Creek on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway. Anjali started driving at 2:00PM and maintains an average speed of 15 MPH on the busy roadway. At Craig a policeman flags her down, asks to see her documents, takes his own sweet time "examining" them while furtively eyeing Anjali. He makes small talk and she is delayed for 10 minutes. Continuing her journey at the same rate of speed, what time will Anjali arrive at Loo Creek?

Correct.

Distance from Georgetown to Loo Creek/River = 45 miles

Time to cover distance at 15 MPH = 3 hours

Add policeman's delay = 3 hrs 10 mins

Arrival time = 2:00PM + 3 hrs 10 mins = 5:10PM

Congrats!!
