Jeremy puts on empty container under a leaking faucet. in the first hour 3/8 quart of water collects. in the second hour, 1/6 quart of water collects. how much water collects in the container in the two hours?

Solve the problem by making up an equation. a man could arrive on time for an appointment if he drove the car at 40 mph; however, since he left the house 15 minutes late, he drove the car at 50 mph and arrive 3 minutes early for the appointment. how far from his house was his appointment?
