Q: Bob runs 6 miles per hour. His friend Jim runs at 9 miles per hour. If Bob has a 1 mile head-start, how many minutes will it take before Jim catches him?
A: Bob runs .1 miles per minute because 6 / 60 = .1. Jim run at .15 miles per minute 9 / 60 = .15. We know that .1(Number of Minutes) + 1 = .15(Number of Minutes). Therefore 1 = .05(Number of minutes). Therefore (Number of minutes) = 20 because 1 / .05 = 20. The answer is 20.

Q: At football tryouts, the coach wanted to see who could throw the ball the farthest. Parker threw the ball 16 yards. Grant threw the ball 25 percent farther than Parker and Kyle threw the ball 2 times farther than Grant. Compared to Parker, how much farther did Kyle throw the ball?
A:
Grant threw the ball 25% farther than Parker. If Parker threw the ball 16 yards, then Grant threw it 16 * .25 = 4 farther. In total, Grant threw the ball 16 + 4 = 20 yards. Kyle threw 2 times farther than Grant so Kyle threw the ball 2 * 20 = 40 yards. If Kyle threw the ball for 40 yards and Parker threw for 16 then Kyle threw the ball 40 - 16 = 24 yards farther. The answer is 24.
