It is given that Mr Martin takes 12 minutes to drive his bus route without stopping on any of the stops.

On Tuesday, it took him 14 minutes when he stooped to take the passengers. He estimated that it takes 30 sec for each stop.

60 second = 1 minute.

30 second = 0.5 minutes.

Let us assume, there were x stops.

Since it takes him 12 minutes without stopping, 12 minutes here acts as a fixed time.

Total time is given by the equation

y=0.5x+12 .... (1)

where t is the total time and x is the number of passengers.

To find the number of passengers, solve equation (1) for x ,

x=\frac{y-12}{0.5} .... (2)

Plug y= 14 into equation number  (2) gives 4 stops.

I am an odd 4-digit number between 5,000 and 5,999. The digit in the thousands place is half
Shkiper50 [21]
You are 5,987. 5 in the thousands place because you are a number in the 5,000s, and also the smallest 2 digit number divided 2 makes 5. 9 in the hundreds place because the biggest 1 digit number is 9. 8 in the tens place because the only single digit number that is a multiple of 4, but not 4, is 8. 7 in the ones place because 9 is the hundreds place, minus 2 is 7.
