    1 FOR DISTANCE, RATE, AND TIME PROBLEM

    Age Word Problem


    •Problem: A mother is three times as old as her son. In five years, she will be twice as old as him. How
    old are they now?

    •Solution:

    - Let the son's current age be represented by x.

    - Let the mother's current age be represented by y.

    • Formulate Equations

    - Equation 1: The mother is three times as old as her son. This translates to: y = 3x

    - Equation 2: In five years, the mother will be twice as old as her son. This translates to: y + 5 = 2(x + 5)

    We can use the substitution method to solve for x and y.

    - Substitute: Since we know y = 3x, substitute this value into Equation 2:

    3x + 5 = 2(x + 5)

    - Simplify: Expand the equation:

    3x + 5 = 2x + 10

    - Solve for x: Subtract 2x from both sides:

    x + 5 = 10

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    x=5

    - Solve for y: Substitute the value of x (5) back into Equation 1:

    y=3*5 y = 15

    • Final Answer

    Therefore, the son is currently 5 years old, and the mother is currently 15 years old.
    Mixture Problem: Coffee Blends
    Problem: A coffee shop wants to create a new blend of coffee by mixing two types of beans: Colombian
    and Ethiopian. They want the blend to be 60% Colombian and 40% Ethiopian. If they need to make 10 kg
    of this blend, how much of each type of bean should they use?

    • Solution:

    - Let x represent the weight (in kg) of Colombian beans.

    - Let y represent the weight (in kg) of Ethiopian beans.

    •Formulate Equations

    - Equation 1: The total weight of the blend is 10 kg: x + y = 10

    - Equation 2: The blend should be 60% Colombian: x / (x + y) = 0.6

    •Solve the System of Equations

    We can use the substitution method to solve for x and y.

    - Substitute: From Equation 1, we know y = 10 - x. Substitute this into Equation 2:

    x / (x + (10 - x)) = 0.6

    - Simplify:

    x / 10 = 0.6

    - Solve for x: Multiply both sides by 10:

    x=6

    - Solve for y: Substitute the value of x (6) back into Equation 1:

    6 + y = 10

    y=4

    •Final Answer

    The coffee shop should use 6 kg of Colombian beans and 4 kg of Ethiopian beans to create their 10 kg
    blend.
    Distance, Rate, and Time Problem

    Problem: A delivery drone travels at a speed of 40 km/h for the first part of its route. It then increases its
    speed to 60 km/h for the remaining part of the route. The total distance traveled is 100 km, and the
    total time taken is 2.5 hours. How long did the drone travel at each speed?

    • Solution:

    - Let t1 represent the time (in hours) traveled at 40 km/h.

    - Let t2 represent the time (in hours) traveled at 60 km/h.

    Table

    Distance (km) Rate (km/h) Time (h)

    Part 1 40t1 40 t1

    Part 2 60t2 60 t2

    Total 100 2.5

    • Formulate Equations

    - Equation 1: Total distance: 40t1 + 60t2 = 100

    - Equation 2: Total time: t1 + t2 = 2.5

    •Solve the System of Equations

    We can use the substitution method to solve for t1 and t2.

    - Substitute: From Equation 2, we know t1 = 2.5 - t2. Substitute this into Equation 1:

    40(2.5 - t2) + 60t2 = 100

    •Simplify

    100 - 40t2 + 60t2 = 100

    20t2 = 0

    - Solve for t2:

    t2 = 0

    - Solve for t1: Substitute the value of t2 (0) back into Equation 2:

    t1 + 0 = 2.5 t1 = 2.5
    • Final Answer

    The drone traveled for 2.5 hours at 40 km/h and for 0 hours at 60 km/h. This means the drone only
    traveled at 40 km/h for the entire trip.
