What would the Barbie Doll’s measurements be if she were life-size?
A: 39-21-33.
Who invented the coffee filter?
A: Melitta Bentz in Germany in 1908. To improve the the quality of coffee for her family, she pierced holes in a tin container, put a circular piece of absorbent paper in the bottom of it and put her creation over a coffee pot.
What essential piece of office equipment did Johnann Vaaler invent in 1900?
A: The paper Clip.
roblem 1: Two cars started from the same point, at 5 am, traveling in opposite directions at 40 and 50 mph respectively. At what time will they be 450 miles apart?
Solution to Problem 1:
D1 = 40 t and D2 = 50 t
D = D1 + D2 = 40 t + 50 t = 90 t
D = 90 t = 450 miles
t = 5 hours.
5 am + 5 hours = 10 am
Problem 2: At 9 am a car (A) began a journey from a point, traveling at 40 mph. At 10 am another car (B) started traveling from the same point at 60 mph in the same direction as car (A). At what time will car B pass car A?
Problem 3: Two trains, traveling towards each other, left from two stations that are 900 miles apart, at 4 pm. If the rate of the first train is 72 mph and the rate of the second train is 78 mph, at wthat time will they pass each other?
Solution to Problem 3:
D1 = 72 t and D2 = 78 t
D = D1 + D2 = 72 t + 78 t = 150 t
150 t = 900
t = 6 hours.
Solution to Problem 2:
D1 = 40 t
D2 = 60 (t-1)
40 t = 60 (t-1)
t = 3 hours
9 + 3 = 12 pm

This problem refers to Heather’s age two years in the future and three years in the past. So I’ll pick a variable and label everything clearly:
Now I need certain fractions of these ages:
The sum of these two numbers is twenty, so I’ll add them and set this equal to 20:
Heather is 24 years old.
This exercise refers not only to their present ages, but also to both their ages last year and their ages in three years, so labelling will be very important. I will label Miguel’s present age as “m” and his grandfather’s present age as “g“. Then m + g = 68. Miguel’s age “last year” was m – 1. His grandfather’s age “in three more years” will be g + 3. The grandfather’s “age three years from now” is six times Miguel’s “age last year” or, in math:
This gives me two equations with two variables:
Solving the first equation, I get m = 68 – g. (Note: It’s okay to solve for “g = 68 – m“, too. The problem will work out a bit differently in the middle, but the answer will be the same at the end.) I’ll plug “68 – g” into the second equation in place of “m“:
Since “g” stands for the grandfather’s current age, then the grandfather is 57 years old. Since m + g = 68, then m = 11, and Miguel is presently eleven years old.
