Ali is painting a fence 100 feet long. He starts at the West end of the fence and paints at a rate of 5 feet per hour. After 2 hours, Zain joins Ali and begins painting from the East end of the fence at a rate of 8 feet per hour. After 2 hours of the two boys painting at the same time, Ali leaves Zain to finish the job by himself.
If Zain completes painting the entire fence after Ali leaves, how many more hours will Zain work than Ali?
6 hours
Explanation:
Ali paints for a total of 4 hours (2 on his own, 2 with Zain's help). Since he paints at a rate of 5 feet per hour, use the formula
distance=rate×time (or d=rt) to determine the total length of the fence Tom paints.
d=(5)(4)
d=20 feet
Subtracting this from the total length of the fence 100 feet gives the length of the fence Ali will NOT paint: 100−20=80 feet. If Zain finishes the job, he will paint that 80 feet of the fence. Using d=rt, we can determine how long this will take Zain to do:
80=8(t)
t=10 hours.
If Zain works 10 hours and Ali works 4 hours, he works 6 more hours than Ali.

Michael scores a 95, 87, 85, 93, and a 94 on his first 5 math tests. If he wants a 90 average, what must he score on the final math test?
86
To solve for the final score:
Add the five past test scores and you get 454. Then set up an algebraic equation where you add 454 to x, which is the final test score, and divide by six, because you want the average for 6 tests now. You make this equation equal to 90 because that is the average Michael wants and solve for x:
(454+x)÷6=90
454+x=540
x=86

Name 3 conditions listed in the peace treaty between Imam Hassan (as) and Muawiyah
1. Imam Hasan (as) would hand over the rule, or government, to Muawiya provided he acts according to the Holy Book of God, the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (saws) and the character of pious and virtuous caliphs.
2. Muawiya does not have a right to nominate anyone after him. The rule would be handed back to Hasan (as) after him, or according to some narrations, it would be left to a consultative body ('shura') of Muslims.
3. The life, property and honour of the general public, whether black or white, belonging to Syria, Iraq, Tihama, Hijaz or which ever area, would be safeguarded.
4. The life, property, and honour of Shias of Imam ‘Ali (as) and their family members, will be protected and Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan is bound by the covenant of Almighty God in this respect and he will honour his covenant with Almighty God in this regard.
5. Muawiya will not take any open or secret action against Imam Hasan bin ‘Ali (as) or against Ahlul Bayt (as) of the Holy Prophet (saws) and he will not try to terrorize them anywhere on earth.
6. Imam ‘Ali (as) will be remembered with honour and dignity and he will not be reviled, according to some narrations, in the life time of Imam Hasan (as) no abusive language against Hazrat ‘Ali (as) will be used.
7. Muawiya will hand over the Bait-ul-Maal of Kufa and the revenue of Darab Jard (Darabgard) to him (Imam Hasan (as)) so that he may meet his expenses from the same and may repay the debt and other dues.
A watch, a laptop, and a purse are stolen by three different thieves. The three suspects are apprehended, and we know each stole one of the items, but we don’t know who stole what.
A: “C stole the laptop.”
B: “C stole the purse.”
C: “I did not steal the laptop or the purse.”
You also learn that the watch thief lied and the laptop thief told the truth.
Who stole which item?
A stole the watch, B stole the laptop, and C stole the purse.
Reasoning:
A cannot be the laptop thief, because the laptop thief told the truth, and A claims C is the laptop thief, which would be a contradiction.
C cannot be the laptop thief, because the laptop thief told the truth, and C claims to not be the laptop thief, which would be a contradiction.
Therefore B is the laptop thief.
Since the laptop thief told the truth, then C is the purse thief.
This leaves A to be the watch thief.
