Welcome back to our series on GMAT quant rate problems. In the last article, we learned about the usefulness of “machine hours” for solving problems featuring more than two or three machines. This article will prepare you for questions that involve rates of...
Welcome back to our series on GMAT quant rate problems. In the last article, we studied problems where two objects are moving, either in the same direction or in opposite directions. This article will return to machines and address problems that feature more than two...
Welcome back to our series on GMAT quant rate problems. The last two articles covered machines working together to complete a job. This article addresses problems that have two objects moving at given speeds instead of two machines working at given rates. Recall from...
Welcome back to our series on GMAT quant rates problems. This article will build upon the last and prepare you to easily solve combined work problems. To begin, let’s review the standard formula we learned last time: (1 / c) = (1 / a) + (1 / b) where c is the combined...
Welcome back to our series on rate problems. In the first article, we introduced the relationship between the variables of rate, work, and time – or speed, distance, and time. This article and the next will teach you how to approach combined work problems which...
The quantitative section of the GMAT works by using simple mathematical relationships to create challenging problems. This makes rate problems – which depend on simple relationships that are surprisingly versatile in their presentation and arrangement – a...
