In a rectangular garden, a sneaky snake is slithering swiftly along the length. Simultaneously, a determined man begins his pursuit from one end of the breadth. The snake moves at a steady pace of 30 cm/hour, while the man walks twice as fast, covering 60 cm/hour.
The question is, how long will it take for the man to catch up to the snake?
Consider the garden's breadth as "B" and its length as "2B." The man and snake start moving at the same time.
To find the time "T" when the man catches the snake, we equate the distances they both cover.
Man's distance: 60T (60 cm/hour * T hours)
Snake's distance: 30T (30 cm/hour * T hours)
The man catches the snake when they meet at the same point, meaning the distance covered by both is equal.
Equation: 60T = 30T
Solving for "T":
60T - 30T = 0
30T = 0
T = 2
Thus, the man catches the snake after 2 hours.
The tickets for football matches at various stadiums in different cities have a mysterious pricing system based on the letters in the city name. Here are the prices for tickets in some cities:
Manchester Stadium: $1,400
Edinburgh Stadium: $1,100
Birmingham Stadium: $2,300
Liverpool Stadium: $1,500
Now, can you figure out the ticket price for someone visiting the London Stadium to watch a football match?
$1,600
Explanation:
To calculate the ticket price for someone at the London Stadium, we count the number of vowels and consonants in the city name and use the given formula.
City: London
Vowels: 2 (o, o)
Consonants: 4 (l, n, d, n)
Using the formula where vowels are worth $300 and consonants are worth $200, the ticket price for someone at the London Stadium would be:
(2 x $300 + 4 x $200) = $600 + $800 = $1,600
So, the ticket price for someone at the London Stadium is $1,600.
