milelong. How many minutes does it take for the whole train to pass through the
tunnel?
a. 7
b. 4
c. 10
d. 5
e. 6
***The train is travelling at a speed of one mile per minute, so the front of the train
will exit the tunnel in 5 minutes. At this point there is still one mile of train in the
tunnel since the train is one mile long. This will take a further one minute to clear
the tunnel. Therefore the total time taken is six minutes.
7. In the Shelbyville election, the Republican candidate received one and a half times as

e. 80
***If Anna covers 400 miles in at an average speed of 60 mph then she must
have driven for a total of 6 hours and 40 minutes. If she stops for 1 hour and
20 minutes then her total journey time is 8 hours. If John covers 400 miles in at
an average speed of 50 mph then he must have driven for a total of 8 hours. If
he stops for 40 minutes then his total journey time is 8 hours and 40 minutes.
Therefore, there is a 40-minute difference in their arrival times.

20% or 160 were sold at $6.26 = $1001
60% or 480 were sold at $4.47 = $2145
Therefore, the total revenue was $4578.

***The proportion of the sample who preferred not to pump their own gas was
5/8 which is the same as 10/16. Add to this 3/16 which is the proportion of the sample that
prefers to pump their own gas. This means that 13/16 of the people who replied to the survey
expressed a preference. This means that 3/16 (or 75 people) did not. The question states that
3/16 of the sample preferred to use self-service and we know that
3/16 = 75 people, therefore 75 people preferred self-service.
