Three numbers, 16, 14 and 38, need to be assigned to one of the rows of numbers below. Where do the numbers belong?
A
0
6
8
9
3
B
15
27
21
10
19
C
7
1
47
11
17
Hint: This is not a mathematical problem. The numerical values are irrelevant.
The rows indicate the shape of the number. Row A is rounded, B is mixed and C is linear. Thus, 16 belongs in row B, 14 in row C and 38 in row A.

Hester goes out for an afternoon bicycle ride. She rides for one hour at five miles an hour, then three hours at four miles an hour and finally two hours at seven miles an hour. How many miles did she ride in total?
31 miles.
1 hour at 5 mph = 5 miles
3 hours at 4 mph = 12 miles
2 hours at 7 mph = 14 miles
5 + 12 + 14 = 31 miles
31 miles.
1 hour at 5 mph = 5 miles
3 hours at 4 mph = 12 miles
2 hours at 7 mph = 14 miles
5 + 12 + 14 = 31 miles
