Problem 1:

Find the cost to each person.

- Situation: Some men travel in a taxi for 8 km.
- Cost per kilometer: $7.50
- Total distance traveled: 960 meters (which is 0.96 km)
- Total cost: $15.00

#### Solution:
1. Convert the total distance to kilometers:
\[
960 \text{ meters} = 0.96 \text{ km}
\]

2. Calculate the cost per kilometer:
\[
\text{Cost per kilometer} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total distance}} = \frac{15.00}{0.96}
\]
\[
\frac{15.00}{0.96} = 15.625 \quad (\text{This is not needed for this problem, but it's useful for verification.})
\]

3. Determine the number of men:
- The total cost is $15.00.
- Each man pays $7.50.
- Number of men:
\[
\text{Number of men} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Cost per man}} = \frac{15.00}{7.50} = 2
\]

4. Verify the cost per person:
- If there are 2 men, each pays:
\[
\frac{15.00}{2} = 7.50
\]
- This matches the given cost per person.

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{2}
\]

Problem 2:

Mrs. and Mrs. Chatterjee were driving a car at 65.1 km/h and they drove from room A to B at 65.7 km/h. How much faster was their speed?

#### Solution:
1. Identify the speeds:
- Speed from room A to B: \(65.7 \text{ km/h}\)
- Speed while driving the car: \(65.1 \text{ km/h}\)

2. Calculate the difference in speed:
\[
\text{Difference in speed} = 65.7 - 65.1 = 0.6 \text{ km/h}
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{0.6}
\]

Problem 3:

A car’s tank can hold 3 liters. It has traveled 15 miles each hour. How far did it travel?

#### Solution:
1. Given information:
- Tank capacity: 3 liters
- Speed: 15 miles per hour

2. Assumptions:
- The problem does not specify the time or fuel consumption rate. Without additional information, we cannot determine how far the car traveled. The question seems incomplete.

#### Answer:
\[
\text{Insufficient information to solve.}
\]

Problem 4:

Two winds: 21.5 m/s and 27.5 m/s. What is the difference between their velocity?

#### Solution:
1. Identify the velocities:
- Velocity 1: \(21.5 \text{ m/s}\)
- Velocity 2: \(27.5 \text{ m/s}\)

2. Calculate the difference:
\[
\text{Difference} = 27.5 - 21.5 = 6 \text{ m/s}
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{6}
\]

Problem 5:

An electricity bill of 480 dollars was divided into 6 apartments. When even the same amount as usual, how much should be paid by each apartment?

#### Solution:
1. Total bill: $480
2. Number of apartments: 6

3. Calculate the bill per apartment:
\[
\text{Bill per apartment} = \frac{\text{Total bill}}{\text{Number of apartments}} = \frac{480}{6} = 80
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{80}
\]

Problem 6:

A box of pens costs $2. How many can be bought on a sale if 1 box is $1?

#### Solution:
1. Original price of 1 box: $2
2. Sale price of 1 box: $1

3. Determine how many boxes can be bought with the original price of 1 box:
- With $2, you can buy:
\[
\frac{2}{1} = 2 \text{ boxes}
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{2}
\]

Problem 7:

Mary speaks 12 words working in an office project. If she spends the whole day over 8 hours, how many words does she speak each day?

#### Solution:
1. Words spoken per minute: 12 words
2. Hours worked per day: 8 hours
3. Minutes worked per day:
\[
8 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 480 \text{ minutes}
\]

4. Total words spoken per day:
\[
\text{Total words} = \text{Words per minute} \times \text{Minutes per day} = 12 \times 480 = 5760
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{5760}
\]

Problem 8:

Sam runs 24 km in 26 minutes. Maria runs 9.7 km in the same time. How much farther does Sam run than Maria?

#### Solution:
1. Distance run by Sam: 24 km
2. Distance run by Maria: 9.7 km

3. Calculate the difference in distance:
\[
\text{Difference} = 24 - 9.7 = 14.3 \text{ km}
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{14.3}
\]
