• 🗺️ Problem 33: Only the average rate of Jane's travel is provided, making it impossible to determine her travel distance.
• 💁 Problem 34: Both statement 1 and statement 2 individually provide sufficient information to calculate 15% of x.
• 💁 Problem 35: The given statements do not provide enough information to determine the exact value of "rectangle".

Transcript

Problem 33 asks: What distance did Jane travel? What distance did she travel? So, one. Bill traveled 40 miles in 40 minutes, or essentially a mile a minute, which is 60 miles an hour, whatever, 1 mile a minute, right? That's what we can figure out. 1 mile per minute. That has no information about how far did Jane travel. It's useless. Two. Jane tra... Read More

Questions & Answers

Q: How far did Jane travel in Problem 33?

Jane's travel distance cannot be determined as only her average rate is provided, but not the duration of her travel.

Q: Do both statements in Problem 34 individually provide enough information to determine 15% of x?

Yes, statement 1 and statement 2 individually provide enough information to calculate 15% of x.

Q: What information about rectangle can be inferred from the given statements in Problem 35?

The statements provide limited information about the possible value of "rectangle", making it impossible to determine its exact value.

Q: In Problem 36, does statement 2 alone prove that profit exceeds 4 million on sales of 380,000 units?

Yes, statement 2 confirms that the profit exceeds 4 million on sales of 380,000 units, as it already exceeds 5 million on sales of 350,000 units.
