The path forms a right triangle with legs 5 and 12.
By Pythagoras, distance is √(25 + 144) = 13 km.

The first part takes 2 hours and the second takes 1 hour.
The total travel time is 3 hours.

The speed is 90 × 5/18 = 25 m/s, so total distance is 25 × 24 = 600 m.
Subtracting the train length gives a bridge length of 400 m.

Downwind speed is 300 km/h and upwind speed is 200 km/h.
Wind speed is half their difference: 50 km/h.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Downstream speed is 15 km/h and upstream speed is 10 km/h.
Still-water speed is their average: 12.5 km/h.

In the same time, the faster runner covers 1,000 m while the slower covers 900 m.
Their speed ratio is therefore 1,000:900 = 10:9.

Time is inversely proportional to speed.
The decrease is 1 - 50/60 = 1/6 = 16 2/3%.

Let total distance be 3d; time is d/30 + 2d/60 = d/15.
Average speed is 3d ÷ (d/15) = 45 km/h.

Travel time is 210 ÷ 70 = 3 hours.
Three hours after 8:00 a.m. is 11:00 a.m.

Their closing speed is 20 + 25 = 45 km/h.
Time = 90 ÷ 45 = 2 hours.
Choose an option to check your answer.
For equal distances, average speed is the harmonic mean 2ab/(a + b).
Thus, 2 × 40 × 60 ÷ 100 = 48 km/h.
Choose an option to check your answer.
For equal time intervals, average speed is the arithmetic mean.
Thus, (40 + 60)/2 = 50 km/h.
