When the students read the letters out loud, running them together, and looking in the mirror, they realized that they were telling themselves, “I like you like you are!” It may not be perfect grammar, but the teacher reached her goal of building self-esteem in her students who had a low opinion of themselves because of teasing.

54 miles/hr.
Here’s how to solve:
Speed of Car 1 = 36 mph
Time taken from point C to B = 9 hrs
thus, distance between C to B = 36 * 9 = 324 miles (Distance = Speed * Time)Now let the distance between point A and C be ‘a’ miles and let the speed of Car 2 be ‘b’ mph.
Thus time taken by Car 1 to travel from A to C = a/36 (Time = Distance/Speed).
and the time taken by car 2 to travel from B to C = 324/b (Distance between C and B is 324 miles as explained above)
Since both the cars meet at C, then these two times are equal, i.e.
a/36 = 324/b
or b = 324 * 36/a =11664/a Now time taken by Car 2 to travel from C to A can be described as a/b or a*a/11664 (writing b in terms of a).
But it is given that Car 2 takes 4 hrs to travel from C to A. Thus, we get
a * a/11664 = 4
or, a * a = 46656
Now taking square root on both sides, we get a = 216. (distance cannot be negative).
Thus we get b = 11664/216 = 54.
Thus speed of Car 2 = 54 miles/hr

182 is the smallest number that can be written that way. 322 is the largest number that can be written that way.
Therefore,
180 - no, it can not be written that way
217 = 1×12 + 2×5 + 3×9 + 4×8 + 6×11 + 7×10
299 = 1×2 + 3×6 + 4×8 + 5×9 + 7×10 + 11×12
400 - no, it can not be written that way

All able-bodied young men took up arms and fought against the invaders, and as a result, around the border, nine out of ten of these men died. This man’s son did not join in the fighting because he was crippled and was absolved from the obligation for his disability, so he escaped death.Taoism, here refers to a Chinese system of thought and is characterized by spontaneous creativity and by regular alternations of phenomena (such as day following night, good results coming bad events or bad results coming from good intentions.) that proceed without effort. Effortless action may be illustrated by the conduct of water, which unresistingly accepts the lowest level and yet wears away the hardest substance.
