Q: 8 The map shows a toll road network with the prices for each part of the road.

What is the lowest price I could pay for a trip from A to F?

A. $11
✓ Correct Ans B. $12
✗ Your Ans C. $13
D. $14

Explanation
There are lots of different paths to check, but we can save time by looking at small groups of paths.
From C to F directly costs $9, but going via E reduces the cost to $7.
From D to F directly costs $11, but going via E reduces the cost to $7.
There are only three routes to F: from C, E and D, but going via E is always cheaper.
ACE is $9. ABE is $9, and ADE is $7.
The cheapest path is therefore ADEF at 5 + 2 + 5 = $12

Q: 10 Andy's house, the park and Sam's house form a straight line with the park between the two houses. The two houses
are 1420 meters apart. The boys want to walk to the park and play. Andy walks 60 meters a minute and Sam walks
70 meters a minute. Andy left his house 2 minutes before Sam left his, and they arrived at the park at the same time.

How far is Andy's house from the park?

✓ Correct Ans A. 720m

B. 710m
✗ Your Ans C. 700m
D. 715m

Explanation
After Andy walked for 2 minutes, the distance between him and Sam's house is 1420-2x60=1300 meters. Andy
and Sam covered this distance by walking towards each other and met at the park. The time it took for them to
meet is 1300/(60+70)=10 min. Therefore it takes Andy 12 minutes (2 + 10) to walk from his house to the park.
The distance between Andy's house and the park is 720 meters (12 x 60 = 720).
