Jack and Jane are married and both work. However, due to their responsibilities at home, they have decided that they do not want

to work over 65 hours per week combined. Jane is paid $14 per hour at her job, and Jack is paid $7 per hour at his. Neither of them are paid extra for overtime, but they are allowed to determine the number of hours per week that they wish to work. If they need to make a minimum of $770 per week before taxes, what is the maximum amount of hours that Jack can work per week according to these limits?

By setting up a system of equations we can easily solve this problem. Let's denote Jane's working hours with x and Jack's working hours with y. Since they don't want to work more than 65 hours, the first equation is x+y=65. The second equation is 14x+7y=770. By solving this system of equation \left \{ {{x+y=65} \atop {14x+7y=770}} \right., we find that y=20 hours, which is Jack's maximum working hours.

For the first question, simply make a right angle triangle with the following dimensions.

The angle of elevation or the angle from the ground between the first floor and ground is 60 degrees.

The height between the 2 floors is 26 feet.

Solve for the hypotenuse, or the diagonal length between the first and second floors.

Then for the second question, divide the length in feet by the rate to find the time it takes for the object to move.
