These problems involve applying mathematical reasoning to solve real-world scenarios involving word problems and speed calculations. In Problem 13, students must set up an equation based on the financial incentives for spelling words correctly or incorrectly. Problem 14 involves physics concepts, specifically relative motion and wind speed, requiring the use of systems of equations to find unknown speeds.
