Solving Challenge 5 - Kite Class 8 Volume 1 page 48
Task Description:
A planned industrial plant needs to produce 120 tons of goods within a specified number of days. Thanks to technological improvements, the plant has completed the plan one day ahead and produced an additional 5 tons of goods. Let x represent the planned number of days.
a) The number of tons of goods the plant produces per day as planned;
b) The actual number of tons of goods the plant produces per day;
c) The ratio of the actual number of tons of goods produced per day to the planned production per day.
Solution Approach:
The number of tons produced in a day is the total tons produced divided by the total number of days worked.
Answer:
The total tons of goods the plant produces according to the plan is: 120 (tons)
The actual total tons of goods the plant produces is: 120 + 5 = 125 (tons)
The planned total number of days worked is: x (days)
The actual total number of days worked is: x - 1 (day)
a) The number of tons of goods the plant produces per day as planned is: 120/x (tons)
b) The actual number of tons of goods the plant produces per day is: 125/(x-1) (tons)
c) The ratio of the actual number of tons of goods produced per day to the planned production per day is:
Solving Challenge 6 - Kite Class 8 Volume 1 page 48
Task Description:
A cargo car travels from point A to point B in x hours. After delivering the goods at point B, the car returns to point A, but the time it takes to travel back to A is only x-1 hours. Knowing that the distance AB is 160 km, express it as a fraction in terms of x:
a) The speed of the car when traveling from A to B;
b) The speed of the car when traveling from B to A;
c) The ratio of the speed of the car when traveling from A to B to the speed of the car when traveling from B to A.
Solution Approach:
The speed of the car is the distance divided by the time.
Answer:
The distance AB is 160 km.
The time the car travels from A to B is x hours.
The time the car travels from B to A is x - 1 hours.
a) The speed of the car when traveling from A to B is: 160/x (km/h)
b) The speed of the car when traveling from B to A is: 160/(x-1) (km/h)
c) The ratio of the speed of the car when traveling from A to B to the speed of the car when traveling from B to A is:
