Triplets Peter, Reeta and Nikita have two ways for getting home fromschool each day: cycle on a tandem bike or walk. The bike can carryeither one or two riders at a time. Regardless of the number of peoplepedalling, cycling speed is 5 times walking speed. The triplets alwaysleave school at the same time and always use the same path betweenschool and home, whether walking or cycling. The school is 5 km fromhome and their walking speed is 4 kilometres per hour.ㅊa On Monday, Nikita and Peter cycle and Reeta walks. On reaching thepoint four-fifths of the way home the bike gets a puncture, so Nikitaand Peter walk the rest of the way home. How far from school isReeta when the cyclists arrive home?b On Tuesday, Peter and Reeta ride the bike and Nikita walks. Whenthe cyclists arrive home, Peter hops off the bike and Reeta rides backtowards school to collect Nikita. How far from school is Nikita whenReeta reaches her?c On Wednesday, Reeta and Nikita take the bike and Peter walks. Whenthe cyclists are halfway home, Reeta hops off and walks the rest of theway, while Nikita heads back to pick up Peter. How far from schoolis Reeta when her siblings pass her on the bike?d On Thursday, it is Reeta's turn to walk. Peter drops Nikita off at acertain point leaving her to walk home. Meanwhile he returns to pickup Reeta and they cycle home together. If all three arrive home at thesame time, how far from school are the drop-off and pick-up points?M

use the Y axis to represent distance and the X axis to represent time. Four race cars are heading for the finish line. Car 11 is in the lead and has 1.2 miles to go. But he has engine trouble and is only traveling at a speed of 130 mph. How long before car 11 crosses the finish line (where distance remaining = 0). Car 32 is in second and is .1 miles behind Car 11 (he has 1.3 miles to go). He is traveling at a speed of 140 mph. Add that line to your graph. Car 53 is in third and is .3 miles behind the leader (1.5 miles to go). He is traveling at a speed of 165 mph. Car 94 is in last place, and is .5 miles behind the leader (1.8 miles to go).

Akira is running around a circular track. Akira runs counterclockwise. From where he starts, it takes him 22 seconds to reach the easternmost point of the track. It takes him 95 seconds to run one complete lap.Bob starts running at the same time as Akira. Bob starts from the northernmost point and runs clockwise. Bob and Akira pass each other for the first time after 26 seconds. How long does Bob take to run one lap of the track? The answer to this question should be the amount of time in seconds rounded to four decimal places that it takes for Bob to run a complete lap around the circular track.
