Two small insects, which are $x$ metres apart, take $u$ minutes to pass each other when they are flying towards each other, and $v$ minutes to meet each other when they are flying in the same direction. Then, the ratio of the speed of the slower insect to that of the faster insect is

A train left point A at 12 noon. Two hours later, another train started from point A in the same direction. It overtook the first train at 8 PM. It is known that the sum of the speeds of the two trains is 140 km/hr. Then, at what time would the second train overtake the first train, if instead the second train had started from point A in the same direction 5 hours after the first train? Assume that both the trains travel at constant speeds.

Two friends run a 3-kilometer race along a circular course of length 300 meters. If their speeds are in the ratio 3:2, the number of times the winner passes the other is __________.
