Explanation

6 clerks draft 24 letters in 3 hours.

Step 1: Find the work rate.

6 clerks draft $24 div 3 = 8$ letters per hour.

Step 2: Find the rate of 8 clerks.

8 clerks draft 32/3​ letters per hour.

Step 3: Calculate the time for 32 letters.

32/32/3 =3

Explanation

• Speed = 12 km/h
• Time = 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hour

Formula:

Distance = Speed x Time 

= 12 x 1/4

$$= 12 times frac{1}{4}$$ =3 km

Explanation

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

Time 1 = 60 / 40 = 1.5 h

Time 2 = 60 / 60 = 1 h

Total time = 2.5 h

Average = 120 / 2.5 = 48 km/h

Explanation

. Starts facing North, moves 7 km North.  

2. Turns West, moves 2 km.  

3. Turns South, moves 4 km → Now he's (7 - 4) = 3 km North from start.  

4. Turns West again, moves another 2 km → Total 4 km West.

So, from the starting point, he's 3 km North and 4 km West.

Use Pythagoras theorem to find the distance from the start:

Distance = √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 km

Explanation

For objects moving in opposite directions, relative speed = sum of their speeds.

50 + 100 = 150 km/hour.
