The three volumes of a book sit in chronical order on a shelf. Each is 1¼ inches thick, comprising an inch of pages and ⅛ inch for each cover. A bookworm bores from page 1, volume I, to the last page of volume III. How far does it travel?
Ok see the first diagram in the attached picture, do you agree? Putting a book on the shelf, the first page will be on your right and the last page on your left. Good!
Now the books were arranged in chronological order (second diagram). The bookworm bores from page 1 of volume I to last page of volume III. You will agree with me that the last page of Volume III will be the first page the bookworm encounters in Volume III (remember last page is on the left and first page is on the right).
So what we are to find is X (from the second diagram).
X becomes: = One cover of Volume I + whole book of Volume II + one cover of Volume III = ⅛ inches + 1¼ inches + ⅛ inches = 1½ inches
Answer: 1½ inches

n the U.S. people generally use Bitcoin as an alternative investment, helping diversify a portfolio apart from stocks and bonds. You can also use Bitcoin to make purchases, but the number of vendors that accept the cryptocurrency is still limited. Big companies that accept Bitcoin include Overstock, AT&T and Twitch. You may also find that some small local retailers or certain websites take Bitcoin, but you’ll have to do some digging. That said, PayPal has announced that it will enable cryptocurrency as a funding source for purchases this year, financing purchases by automatically converting crypto holdings to fiat currency for users. “They have 346 million users and they’re connected to 26 million merchants,” says Spencer Montgomery, founder of Uinta Crypto Consulting. “It’s huge.”
