1. 1 min = 30 words 9. 5000 – 1875 = 3125
? = 390 words 23 + 1 + 1 = 25
390 ÷ 30 = 13 minutes 3125 ÷ 25 = 125
125*23 = 2875
2. 18 ÷ 6 = 3 Total = 2875 : 125 : 125
26.58 *3 = $79.74
10. 12 men : 20 days : 1 house
3. F : 2 =5:2 15 men : ? : 2 houses
=8:?
8 ÷ 5 = 1.6 1 man : 20*12 : 1 house
1.6 * 2 = 3.2 cups 15 men : 240/15 : 1 house
4. J : K =5:6 15 men : 16 days : 1 house
+4 15 men : 16*2 : 2 houses

Kim does not change.
= 40 : 48
= 42 : 48
2 parts = 4 marbles
1 part = 2 marbles
So, 14 : 16
Original = 14 – 4 = 10 for Jan
And 16 for Kim

5. A) 81 ÷ 3 = 27
27 *2 = 54

B) Q : 2
8:Q
Q2 : 2Q
16 : 2Q
16 = Q2
Q=4

6. A) 1 : 180000
1 cm = 1.8km
9 ÷ 1.8 ÷ 1.8 = 2.78 cm2
25*1.8 = 45km

b) 1 : 50 000
1 cm = 500m = 0.5km
6 *0.5 = 3km

7. A) 10*0.5*0.5 = 2.5km2

B) 5cm = 4km
1 cm = 4÷5
1cm = 0.8km
0.5cm = 0.16km = 160m

8. A) 1cm : 0.8km
64 ÷ 0.8 ÷ 0.8 = 100cm2

B) 5 + 3 = 8
5000 ÷ 8 = 625
Cain = 3 *625 = 1875
