If Jameson can build a 20 foot wall in 6 hours, and Jaqueline can build a 50 foot wall in 12 hours, and the two of them work together to build a 180 foot wall (with each of them starting at opposite ends of the wall), how much wall will each build before the wall is complete?

A car travels from city A to city B in 12 hours. It then travels from city B to city C at the same speed, in 8 hours. If the car was traveling 5 mph faster, it would have traveled from city A to city B in 10 hours.  What is the distance from city B to city C?

Marco walks a certain distance at a certain speed (measured in miles per hour), and then returns over the same distance at a speed one mph less than his original walking speed. He took a total of 35 hours. If, instead of slowing down for his return journey, he had sped up by one mph, his journey would have taken 27 hours. How far did he walk?

Jack can mow a lawn in 6 hours, and Jane can mow it in 4 hours. If they work together, how long will it take them to mow the lawn? Give your answer in minutes.

Geoge the Monkey can run at a speed of 12 mph. Hazel can walk at a rate of 4 mph, and Henrietta can walk at a rate of 2 mph.

George is standing halfway between Hazel and Henrietta, who are 1,320 feet apart, and begin walking toward each other.

At the moment they begin walking, George begins running toward Hazel. When he reaches her, he turns around and runs to Henrietta. Upon reaching her, he turns around again, and continues on like this, until the two girls meet, and he is sandwiched between them.

How far did George run?

John drove at 20 mph for 30 minutes, and then he drove back home at 10 mph. What was his average speed for the entire trip?

Samwise can mow 5 lawns in 9 hours, and Frodo can mow 1 lawn in 4 hours. Samwise, Frodo, and Bilbo, working together, can mow 20 lawns in 18 hours. How many minutes does it take Bilbo to mow 3 lawns?

A clock adjusts its timing each night by contacting a satellite at 2:00 AM to find out the official standard time. Since it has a mechanical action with physical minute, second and hour hands, if the clock finds out it is out of sync, it will move at 12 times normal speed in order to "catch up" with the actual time. (If it is ahead of the correct time, it will still move forward, until it wraps around to the correct time.)

In the fall, when Daylight Savings Time happens, at 2:00 the satellite tells the clock that it is actually 1:00. Thus, the clock has to move forward at high speed until it wraps around to the correct time.

How long will it take the clock to be displaying the correct time again?
