Math Problem of the Week- Pushy Pushy

Hey guys here's another math problem for you guys to solve
Solution
Powerful-Riding Motor
Manny used the PRM for 90% of the time. This means we have to find 90% of 70 minutes, because it takes 70 minutes to cut the entire lawn using the PRM. 
90% x 70= 63
So it took 63 minutes to cut 90% of the lawn. 

Push Mower
Manny used the push mower to mow 10% of the lawn. It takes 5 hours or 300 minutes to mow the whole lawn using the push mower. So we need to find 10% of 300.
10% x 300= 30
It took 30 minutes to mow the last 10% of the lawn.

Total
63(90%)+30(10%)=93
It took Manny 93 minutes or 1 hour and 33 minutes to mow the entire lawn.

Math Problem



Once again we have to analyze the pattern. The number in the middle, is the product of the bottom two numbers being multiplied then added to the top number.
example: 3*7+1=22

8*5+3=43
the "?" is 43

Math Problem

Here's Another one to test your minds.

In this one we have to analyze the pattern. Each watch adds 42 minutes, from the previous times.
Therefore the watch with the "?" should be showing 5:19

Math Problem

I'm back this week with another Math Problem. View it below.


I can infer that since both sentences, have the same answer, it will most likely be consecutive numbers. Let's experiment with 1 2 and 3 because when added they equal 6, and when 2 and 3 are multiplied they equal 6, and 1 makes no difference to that.
1+2+3=6
1*2*3=6
the numbers 1 2 and 3 work

A=1
B=2
C=3
Z=6
