machine r takes 2 more hours than machine b to make 20 widgets . if working together , the machines can make 25 widgets in 3 hours , how long will it take machine r to make 40 widgets ?
i approached this one by plugging in numbers . . . started with c . if 40 are made in 8 hours , then 20 are made in 4 hours . so time of r is 4 , and time of b is 2 . rate together : 20 / 4 + 20 / 2 = 5 + 10 = 15 . so in 1 hour , together make 15 widgets . in 3 hours = 45 . way too much . we can eliminate right away c , b , and a - because b and r reduces the time - the total # of widgets made will be even higher . now between d and e - > try only one . . if it does n ' t work , then the other one is the answer . i picked e : 12 h to make 40 widgets , and 6 hours to make 20 . this is the time of r . time of b = 4 hours . 20 / 6 + 20 / 4 = 10 / 3 + 20 / 4 find lcm of 3 and 4 = 12 . multiply first by 4 , and second by 3 : 40 + 60 / 12 = 100 / 12 divide by 4 : 25 / 3 so this is the rate given . e is the correct answer

what is the tens digit of 36 ^ 30 ?
"36 ^ 10 = 6 ^ 20 ( 6 ^ 2 ) = 6 * 6 = 36 ( 6 ^ 3 ) = 36 * 6 = . 16 ( 6 ^ 4 ) = . 16 * 6 = . . 96 ( 6 ^ 5 ) = . . 96 * 6 = . . 76 ( 6 ^ 6 ) = . . 76 * 6 = . . . 56 ( 6 ^ 7 ) = . . . . 56 * 6 = . . . . 36 if you see there is a pattern here in tens digits 3 , 1,9 , 7,5 , 3,1 and so on . . . continue the pattern up to 6 ^ 30 ( dont actually calculate full values ) and answer is b : 7"
a = 4 + 1 b = 36 ** reminder c = reminder / ( d = math.floor(c, 100)
a ) 1692 , b ) 1792 , c ) 1795 , d ) 1892 , e ) 1992
b
add(add(add(const_1000, multiply(divide(divide(126, subtract(19, const_10)), 2), const_100)), multiply(subtract(19, const_10), const_10)), 2)
a 4 digit number is such that the product of all of its digits is 126 . the sum of all the digits is equal to the 2 digit number formed by using thousands digit and tens digit ( 1000 digit in tens place & 10 digit in units place ) which in turn is equal to 19 . then difference of units and 1000 place of the number is , given that this difference is positive .
the number is 1792 . let the number be represented as 1000 x + 100 y + 10 z + t acc to ques , xyzt = 126 x + y + z + t = 10 x + z = 19 so , number in thousands and tens place are 1 and 9 respectively . the remaining factor is 14 which is 7 * 2 so the number is 1792 . answer : b
a = 19 - 10 b = 126 / a c = b / 2 d = c * 100 e = 1000 + d f = 19 - 10 g = f * 10 h = e + g i = h + 2
