Motion Problem Exercise Answer Key and Solution

Here’s the answer key and complete solution for Motion Problem Exercise 1.

1.) 1, 800 Kilometers

Distance = ?
Rate = 400 kph
Time = 4.5 hours

2.) 12 kph

Distance = 3 km
Rate = ?
Time = 15 mins (or 2.5 hrs)

3.) 7:12 am
Distance = 8 km
Rate = 40 kph
Time = ?

Time = 0.2 (or 12 minutes)

7:00 am + 12 minutes = 7:12 am

4.) 2 hours and 30 minutes or 2 1/2 hours

Rate Time Distance
Rey
rate = 55 kph
time = t
distance = 55t kph
Maco
rate = 45 kph
time = t
distance = 45t kph

Distance 1(Rey) + Distance 2(Maco) = Total distance

55t km/hr + 45t km/hr =250 km
100t km/hr = 250 km

t = 2.5 hrs or 2 hrs and 30 minutes

5.) 2.4 hrs or 2 hrs and 24 minutes

Car 1
rate = 40 kph
time = t
distance = 40t kph
Car 2
rate = 30 kph
time = t
distance = 30t kph

Distance 1(Car 1) + Distance 2(Car 2) = Total distance

40t km/hr + 30t km/hr =168 km
70t km/hr = 168 km

t = 2.4 hrs or 2 hrs and 24 minute

6.) 4 hours
Car 1
rate = 55 kph
time = t
distance = 55t kph
Car 2
rate = 40 kph
time = t
distance = 40t kph

Distance 1(Car 1) – Distance 2(Car 2) = Total distance

55t km/hr – 40t km/hr = 60 km
15t km/hr = 60 km

t=4
7.) 4 hours
Bill
rate = 30 kph
time = t + 4
distance = 30(t + 4) kph
John
rate = 60 kph
time = t
distance = 60t kph

Distance 1(Bill) = Distance 2(John)

30(t + 4) = 60t
30t + 120 = 60t
30t – 60t = -120
-30t = -120

t = 4 hours

8.) 4 hours
Car A
rate = 40 kph
time = t + 2
distance = 40(t + 2) kph
Car B
rate = 60 kph
time = t
distance = 60t kph
Distance 1(Car A) = Distance 2(Car B)
40(t + 2) = 60t
40t + 80 = 60t
40t – 60t = -80
-20t = -80

t = 4 hours

9.) 262.5 Kilometers

D = RT
D = 75kph × 3.5hrs
D = 262.5 km

10.) 2 hours and 30 minutes or 2 1/2 hours

Car
rate = 40 mph
time = t
distance = 40t mph
Bus
rate = 60 mph
time = t
distance = 60t mph

Distance 1(Car) + Distance 2(Bus) = Total distance

40tm/hr + 60t m/hr =250 m
100t m/hr = 250 m
t= (250 m)/(100 m/hr)
t=2.5 hrs or 2 hrs and 30 minuteS

The idea of getting the least common multiple of the denominator in adding dissimilar
fractions is to convert them into similar fractions or fractions whose denominators are the same.
Once the fractions are similar, you only need to add the numerator and  copy the denominator.

The solutions to Fraction Addition Practice Test 1 below is divided into three parts: (1) getting
the least common multiple of the denominator, (2) converting the given fractions to their
equivalent fractions whose denominator is the LCM and (3) adding the converted fractions. Of
course, in solving this types of problem the Civil Service Exam, you don’t need to go through all
the steps. You should try developing your own short cuts to make solving faster.
