The Problem Book-31



31.) A lion in a cage walks back and forth, sixty feet per minute, seeking a way out of the cage. It took nearly four centuries to find the door. Now, with modern equipment, he is walking three thousand miles feet per minute and has three thousand miles by two thousand miles to go yet. How long will it take him to cover this territory of said, three thousand by two thousand miles, at the above walking rate?

Five thousand two hundred eighty feet equals one mile.

He also has seventeen million keys, which he turns at the rate of sixteen and seventeen one-hundredths per minute. How long will take him to turn the whole seventeen million?

Sixty minutes equal one hour. Twenty-four hours equal one day. Three hundred sixty-five days equal one year.
