Problem 1: (90)

> To marker 2 is 10 miles and to marker 10 is 90 miles.

Explanation:
- This seems to be about distance markers along a road.
- The distance from the starting point to marker 2 is 10 miles.
- So, each marker represents 5 miles:
$ \frac{10\ \text{miles}}{2} = 5\ \text{miles per marker} $
- Therefore, marker 10 would be:
$ 10 \times 5 = 50\ \text{miles} $

But the answer given is (90), which contradicts this logic unless there’s a different interpretation.

Wait — perhaps the markers are not evenly spaced? But that doesn't make sense.

Alternatively, maybe the problem was:
> "The distance from marker 2 to marker 10 is 90 miles."

Then, the number of intervals between marker 2 and 10 is $10 - 2 = 8$ intervals.

So if 8 intervals = 90 miles → each interval = $ \frac{90}{8} = 11.25 $ miles.

But then the distance to marker 2 would be $2 \times 11.25 = 22.5$ miles — but the problem says "to marker 2 is 10 miles".

This suggests inconsistency.

Wait — perhaps the total distance from start to marker 10 is 90 miles, and from start to marker 2 is 10 miles. Then:

- From marker 2 to marker 10 is $90 - 10 = 80$ miles.
- There are 8 intervals between markers 2 and 10 → each interval = $10$ miles.

So markers are 10 miles apart.

But then marker 2 should be at $2 \times 10 = 20$ miles, not 10.

So something’s wrong.

But the answer is (90) — and the statement says “to marker 2 is 10 miles and to marker 10 is 90 miles.”

So maybe the answer is 90, meaning the total distance to marker 10 is 90 miles. That matches the text.

So likely, the problem asked: *What is the distance to marker 10?*
And the answer is 90 miles.

✔ Conclusion: The answer is 90 miles because the problem states so directly. The key may have been verifying consistency or finding the distance.

Problem 2: (5)

> Eric has 20 x .05 = $1.00, 16 x .10 = $1.60 and 4 x .25 = $1.00 for a total of $3.60. Each stack has 90¢. The least number of coins to make 90¢ is 3 quarters, 1 dime and 1 nickel for a total of 5 coins.

Explanation:

- Eric has:
- 20 nickels: $20 \times 0.05 = \$1.00$
- 16 dimes: $16 \times 0.10 = \$1.60$
- 4 quarters: $4 \times 0.25 = \$1.00$
- Total: $1.00 + 1.60 + 1.00 = \$3.60$

- Now, the problem says each stack has 90¢ — probably meaning he divides his money into stacks of 90¢.

- How many such stacks? $ \frac{\$3.60}{\$0.90} = 4 $ stacks.

- The least number of coins to make 90¢ is asked.

- Try to minimize coins:
- 3 quarters = $0.75$
- Remaining: $0.15$
- 1 dime + 1 nickel = $0.15$
- Total: 3 + 1 + 1 = 5 coins

Can we do better?
- 4 quarters = $1.00$ → too much
- 2 quarters = $0.50$, need $0.40$: 4 dimes → 6 coins (worse)
- 1 quarter = $0.25$, need $0.65$: 6 dimes + 1 nickel = 7 coins
- No better than 5

✔ So minimum is 5 coins.

Answer: (5)

Problem 3: (100 to 400)

> The least distance from city A to city C on the map would be 2" if city C was between cities A and B. The greatest distance on the map would be 8". If the 3 cities did not lie on a straight line, the distance between city A and city C could be anywhere from 2" to 8" or from 100 miles to 400 miles.

Explanation:

- Assume distances are on a map scale.
- Suppose:
- Distance A to B = 8"
- Distance B to C = 2"
- Then the minimum distance from A to C occurs when C is between A and B → $8" - 2" = 6"$? Wait — no.

Wait: if C is between A and B, and AB = 8", BC = 2", then AC = 6"?

But the answer says least is 2" — that can't be.

Wait — maybe AB = 8", and BC = 2", and we're looking at AC?

But the problem says: "least distance from A to C would be 2" if city C was between A and B"

That implies: if C is between A and B, then AC + CB = AB → AC = AB - CB = 8" - 2" = 6"

Still not 2".

Alternatively, maybe AB = 10"? Or perhaps the distances are not fixed.

Wait — re-read: "the least distance from A to C would be 2" if city C was between A and B" — that only makes sense if C is very close to B, but then AC ≈ AB.

Wait — perhaps it's saying:
- The maximum possible distance from A to C is 8"
- The minimum is 2"
- And if the three cities don’t lie on a straight line, the distance AC varies between 2" and 8"

But that’s only possible if AB = 8", BC = 2", and angle between them varies.

But triangle inequality: |AB - BC| ≤ AC ≤ AB + BC → |8 - 2| = 6 ≤ AC ≤ 10

So AC ∈ [6, 10] inches.

But answer says 2" to 8" — still inconsistent.

Wait — perhaps the map scale is such that 1" = 100 miles.

Then 2" = 200 miles, 8" = 800 miles.

But answer says 100 to 400 miles.

Ah! Maybe:

- The least distance on the map is 2" → corresponds to 100 miles → so scale is $ \frac{100\ \text{miles}}{2"} = 50\ \text{miles per inch} $
- Greatest distance on map is 8" → $8 \times 50 = 400$ miles

So the distance between A and C on the map can range from 2" to 8" → which translates to 100 to 400 miles.

Why 2" to 8"? Because of triangle inequality.

Suppose:
- AB = 8"
- BC = 2"
- Then by triangle inequality:
$ |AB - BC| \leq AC \leq AB + BC $ → $6" \leq AC \leq 10"$

But the answer says 2" to 8", so maybe the roles are reversed.

Wait — maybe the distance between A and B is 8", and B and C is 2", but the possible range of AC is from $8 - 2 = 6"$ to $8 + 2 = 10"$ — so 6" to 10"

But answer says 2" to 8" — not matching.

Wait — perhaps the map shows A to B = 8", and A to C = ? , and B to C = 2"

Then AC ≥ |AB - BC| = 6", AC ≤ AB + BC = 10"

Still not 2" to 8".

Unless...

Ah! Perhaps the scale is 1" = 50 miles, and the actual distance between A and C can vary from 100 to 400 miles → so on map: 2" to 8".

So AC ranges from 2" to 8" on map → 100 to 400 miles.

So the least is 2" → 100 miles, greatest is 8" → 400 miles.

But why 2" and 8"? Only if the triangle allows it.

Wait — suppose:
- AB = 8"
- BC = 2"
- Then AC must be ≥ 6", ≤ 10"

But answer says 2" to 8" — so maybe AB = 5", BC = 3", then AC ∈ [2", 8"]?

Yes! Let’s say:
- AB = 5"
- BC = 3"
- Then AC ∈ [2", 8"]

And if scale is 1" = 50 miles → 2" = 100 miles, 8" = 400 miles.

So the range of possible distances from A to C is 2" to 8" on map → 100 to 400 miles.

✔ So the answer is (100 to 400) because of triangle inequality and map scale.

Problem 4: (Blake, Bill, Bob, Bart, Ben)

> (Blake, Bill, Bob, Bart, Ben)

This appears to be a list of names — likely the answer to a logic puzzle involving ordering or identifying people.

Since no problem is stated, it's hard to say, but likely it's a name ordering puzzle (e.g., based on clues about age, height, etc.).

Answer: (Blake, Bill, Bob, Bart, Ben) — possibly the correct order.

Problem 5: (4)

> There must be an even number of children and more children than adults.

Explanation:
- Likely a logic problem involving groups.
- Suppose total people = X
- Adults = A, Children = C
- C > A
- C is even
- Possibly total people = 8, and C = 4, A = 4 → but C > A → not valid
- C = 6, A = 2 → valid
- C = 4, A = 2 → valid
- But answer is (4) — so likely the number of children is 4.

Possibly: “There are 6 people total. More children than adults. Even number of children. What is the number of children?”

Try:
- C = 4, A = 2 → valid
- C = 6, A = 0 → valid, but maybe not allowed
- But answer is (4) — so likely 4 children.

✔ So the answer is 4.

Problem 6: (48)

> Next year their ages will be 17, 15, 11 and 5.
> 17 + 15 + 11 + 5 = 48.

Explanation:
- The sum of their ages next year is 48.
- So current ages are 16, 14, 10, 4 → sum = 44
- But the problem likely asks for the sum of their next year's ages, which is 48.

✔ Answer: (48)

Problem 7: (19)

> The possibilities for a remainder of 1 (+ by 2) are 11, 13, 15, 17, 19.
> The possibilities for a remainder of 4 (+ by 5) are 14, 19.
> There are 19 cards in the box.

Explanation:
- We’re dealing with numbers that satisfy two conditions:
1. When divided by 2, remainder is 1 → odd numbers
- So numbers: 11, 13, 15, 17, 19
2. When divided by 5, remainder is 4 → numbers ≡ 4 mod 5
- Numbers: ..., 4, 9, 14, 19, 24, ...
- From list: 14, 19

Now find common numbers in both lists:
- Odd numbers ≡ 4 mod 5
- Check:
- 14: even → no
- 19: odd, 19 ÷ 5 = 3×5 + 4 → yes
- So only 19 satisfies both.

But the problem says "possibilities" plural — yet only one number?

Wait — maybe the cards are numbered from 1 to 19.

We are told:
- Cards that leave remainder 1 when divided by 2 → odd numbers: 1,3,5,...,19 → 10 numbers
- Cards that leave remainder 4 when divided by 5: numbers ≡ 4 mod 5: 4,9,14,19 → four numbers
- But we want numbers that satisfy both? Or just that some cards satisfy each?

But the conclusion is: "There are 19 cards in the box."

So likely: the box contains cards numbered 1 to 19.

Then:
- Numbers ≡ 1 mod 2: odds → 10 numbers
- Numbers ≡ 4 mod 5: 4,9,14,19 → 4 numbers
- But the answer is (19) — so the total number of cards is 19.

Thus, the box has cards numbered 1 to 19 → 19 cards.

✔ Answer: (19)
