FOR YOU TO TRY
You do not have to complete them all at once, the key to improving is to take your time to understand why you went wrong if you did go wrong in the first place!
QUESTION 1
If you jog for 30 minutes and cover 5 miles, how many miles would you cover in 180 minutes, assuming your jogging speed remains constant?
a) 60 miles
b) 20 miles
c) 30 miles
d) 15 miles
ANSWER TO QUESTION 1
Use cross multiplication to solve this. Label the miles covered in 180 minutes as 'x':
30 minutes = 5 miles
180 minutes = x miles
30 x x = 180 x 5
Now find x:
x = (180 x 5) / 30
= 30 miles
The answer to question 1 is c) 30 miles
QUESTION 2
A farm is split into 3 sections, A, B and C. If the area of all 3 sections combined is 250m² and the area of section A is 80m² work out the area of section B using the diagram below.
a) 32m²
b) 76m²
c) 74m²
d) 96m²
ANSWER TO QUESTION 2
The combined area of all 3 sections A, B and C is given as 250m² in the question and the area of section A only is given as 80m².
This means that the area of sections B and C combined must be:
250 - 80 = 170m²
250 - 80 = 170m²
It is possible to find the area of section C alone from the diagram and is calculated by multiplying the two sides together:
Area of section C is 12 × 8 = 96m²
The area of sections B and C combined is 170m² so the area of section B alone can be calculated by subtraction the area of C from the area of sections B and C combined as shown below:
Area of section B = Area of sections B and C combined - Area of section C
= 170 - 96
= 74m²
The answer to question 2 is c) 74m²
QUESTION 3
A car can drive 650 miles on a full tank of diesel. If the car takes 60 litres of diesel to fill it's tank fully and each litre of diesel costs £1.35 how much would it cost to travel 650 miles?
a) £60
b) £61
c) £81
d) £95
ANSWER TO QUESTION 3
The car takes 60 litres of diesel to fill it's tank and once the tank is full the car can then travel 650 miles. Each litre of diesel cost's £1.35 so therefore the answer is that it costs 60 × £1.35 = £81 to fill the car up with diesel and with a full tank the car can then travel 650 miles. In other words it costs £81 to cover 650 miles by car.
The answer to question 3 is c) £81
