Problem

The document contains several word problems involving rates, distances, times, and speeds. It asks the reader to calculate various values (denoted by x, y, or t) related to the scenarios described in each problem. Specifically, it includes problems about: the ages of family members now and in the past; the time a clock hand intersection will occur; the distance a bullet sound will be heard before impact; the meeting point of two cars traveling towards each other; determining the rate of a stream; the time for one runner to gain a full circumference on another; and the time it takes one runner to complete a track given meeting times with another runner going in the opposite direction.

A bullet is fired at a target 1,342 m away. At what point along its path would the sound of the impact of the bullet
be heard 1/4 second before the report of the gun, assuming that sound travels at the rate of 335 m/sec and the
bullet is 503 m/sec.

x=182.24 m from the target

Problem
A car leaves city A for city B, 40 km distant, traveling 50 kph. Thirty minutes later, another car leaves city B for city A
at 40 kph. At what point of their path will the first car pass 6 minutes before the second car?
x=31.11 km from city Ax=31.11 km from city A
