Problem 6
Nora drove 82 miles in 90 minutes. She averaged 50 miles per hour for the fifirst half-hour and averaged 55 miles per hour for the last half-hour. What was her average speed in miles per hour over the middle half-hour (during the 30 minutes beginning after the fifirst half-hour)?
Problem 7
Andrea is three times as old as Jim was when Jim was twice as old as he was when the sum of their ages was 47. If Andrea is 29 years older than Jim, what is the sum of their ages now?
Problem 8

Problem 10
One morning a baker notices that she has 188 cups of flflour and 113 cups of sugar available. Each loaf of bread that the baker makes takes three cups of flflour and a half cup of sugar. Each cake that the baker makes takes two cups of flflour and two cups of sugar. The baker decides to make some loaves of bread and some cakes so that she exactly uses up all of her supplies of flflour and sugar. Find the number of cakes she should make.
