Devon works 8 kilometers from his home; Kiki works in the same building,
and lives 10 kilometers from work. Devon drives home at an average
speed which is 10 kph slower (kilometers per hour) than Kiki, but
both arrive home after driving the same number of minutes. What is Kiki's average speed?
Which of the following defines a variable and an equation correctly
translating the boxed problem above?
(a)
Let x = the distance between Devon's work and his home ;
8 x
=
10 x-10
(b)
Let x = Devon's speed ; 8x = 10(x+10)
(c)
Let x = Kiki's speed ; 8(x - 10) = 10x
(d)
Let x = Devon's speed ;
8 x
=
10 x+10
(e)
Let x = Kiki's speed ;
8 x-10
=
10 x
(f)
Let x = the distance between Kiki's work and her home ;
8 x-10
=
10 x
(g)
none of the above

It takes 8 minutes to fill Amanda's bath tub, and 10 minutes to drain it if it were filled.
How long would it take to fill the tub if Amanda mistakenly leaves the drain open?
Which of the following defines a variable and an equation correctly
translating the boxed problem above?
(a)
Let x = the fraction of the tub filled in one minute with tap open and drain closed ;
8 x
=
10 x-10
(b)
Let x = the time needed to fill tub with both tap and drain open ; 8x = 10(x+2)
(c)
Let x = the time needed to fill tub with both tap and drain open ;
x 8
-
x 10
= 1
(d)
Let x = the fraction of the tub filled in one minute with drain open and tap closed ;
8 x
=
10 x+10
(e)
Let x = the time needed to fill tub with both tap and drain open ;
8 x
-
10 x
=
1 x
(f)
Let x = the time needed to fill tub with both tap and drain open ;
8 x
-
10 x
= 80
(g)
none of the above
