We shall use the divisibility rules to answer these questions.
In order to find out if a number is divisible by 3, add its digits and check whether the sum is divisible by 3.
a)
The digits in the number 140 are 1,4,and 0.
The sum of the digits is: 1+4+0 = 5 is not divisible by 3 and therefore 140 is NOT divisible by 3.
b)
The digits in the number 111 are 1,1,and 1.
The sum of the digits is: 1+1+1 = 3 is divisible by 3 and therefore 111 is divisible by 3.
c)
The digits in the number 2232 are 2, 2, 3 and 2.
The sum of the digits is: 2+2+3+2 = 9 is divisible by 3 and therefore 2232 is divisible by 3.
We shall use the divisibility rules to answer these questions.
To find out whether a number is divisible by 5, we simply need to check whether its units digit is 0 or 5.
a) The unit digit of 245 is equal to 5 and therefore 245 is divisible by 5
b) The unit digit of 3057 is equal to 7 and therefore 3057 is NOT divisible by 5

a)
One hundred twenty-six million: 126,000,000
twenty-three thousand: 23,000
forty-six: 46
One hundred twenty-six million, twenty-three thousand, forty-six : 126,000,000 + 23,000 + 46 = 126,023,046
b)
Four hundred twenty-five billion: 425,000,000,000
two hundred thirty-two thousand: 232,000
fifty-nine: 59
Four hundred twenty-five billion, two hundred thirty-two thousand, fifty-nine: 425,000,000,000 + 232,000 +59 = 425,000,232,059
Paolo left home at 8:40 am and walked to the car park for 10 minutes, so he arrived at the car park at 8:40 am + 10 minutes = 8:50 am.
Paolo left the He left the car at 8:50 then drove to work for 34 minutes, so he arrived at work at 8:50 am + 34 minutes = 9:24 am.
So Paolo arrived at work at 9:24 am.
To find the average speed, we can use the formula:
Average Speed = Total distance / Total time
Given that Linda drove 200 kilometers in 2 hours and a half.
Convert 2 hours and a half to decimal form: 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 h
Average Speed = 200/2.5 = 80 km/h
So Linda drove at an average speed of 80 km/h.
To find the percent increase of bicycles produced from last year to this year, we can use the following formula:
Percent Increase = ( (New Quantity - Old Quantity) / Old Quantity ) x 100
New Quantity (of this year) = 10800 , Old Quantity (of last year) = 7200
Hence,
Percent Increase = ( (10800 - 7200) / 7200 ) × 100
Percent Increase = (3600/7200) × 100
Percent Increase = 50 %
Therefore, the percent increase of bicycles produced from last year to this year is 50%.
Joe bought 2 boxes of pencils at $1.40 each and a box of pens at $1.60, so the total cost of the pencils and pens is:
2 × $1.40 + $1.60 = $2.80 + $1.60 = $4.40
We also know that the total cost of all items Joe bought is $10.40, so the total cost of the notebooks is:
$10.40 - $4.40 = $6
We know that Joe bought 3 notebooks, so we can divide the total cost of the notebooks by the number of notebooks to find the price of each notebook:
$6 / 3 = $2
So, the price of each notebook is $2
If Mary is 2 years younger than Jill who is 23 years, then Mary is 23 - 2 = 21 years old.
If Jenny is 12 years older than Mary, then Jenny is 21 + 12 = 33 years old.
So the age of Jenny is 33 years old.
Let w and l be the width and the length of the rectangle respectively.
We know that the perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of twice the length and twice the width, which is:
P = 2l + 2w = 260
We also know that the length is 30 meters more than the width:
l = w + 30
We now substitute l = w + 30 in the equation 2l + 2w = 260:
2(w + 30) + 2w = 260
2w + 60 + 2w = 260
4w + 60 = 260
4w = 200
w = 200/4 = 50 meters
Now that we know the width, we can use the equation l = w + 30 to find the length:
l = 50 + 30 = 80 meters
So the width of the rectangle is w = 50 meters, and the length is l = 80 meters.
We can set up an equation to solve for x using the information given.
Given: 2/3 of x is equal to 20
We can write this as an equation: 2/3 × x = 20
To find the value of x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 2/3.
So x = 20 / (2/3) = 20 × 3/2
Simplify
x = (20 × 3)/2 = 30
Therefore, x is equal to 30.
Average speed = total distance / total time
Time driven for the first 100 km
t1 = 100 / 50 = 2 hours
Time driven for the remaining 150 km
150 / 75 = 2 hours
So the total time is 2 + 2 = 4 hours
To find the average speed, we use the formula:
average speed = total distance / total time
total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 km
Substitute total distance and total time in the formula
average speed = 250 / 4 = 62.5 km/h
So the average speed of the whole journey is 62.5 km/h.
Let x be the number of storybooks Beverly has. According to the problem, Joe has 5 more storybooks than Beverly, so Joe has:
x + 5 storybooks.
We know that the total number of storybooks they have together is 49. Therefore, we can write an equation:
x + (x + 5) = 49
Simplifying the equation, we get:
2x + 5 = 49
Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation, we get:
2x = 44
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
x = 22
So Beverly has x = 22 storybooks and Joe has x + 5 = 22 + 5 = 27 storybooks.
Therefore, Beverly has 22 storybooks and Joe has 27 storybooks.
The length of the piece of the wire that was cut is given by
1/5 of 10 cm = ( 1 / 5 ) × 10 = 10/5 = 2 cm
The remaining piece has a length:
Total length - 2 = 10 - 2 = 8 cm
If six packs of biscuits cost $7.50, we can start by finding out the cost of one pack:
Cost of one pack = $7.50 / 6 = $1.25
Therefore, one pack of biscuits costs $1.25.
To find out how much it would cost to buy 8 packs, we can multiply the cost of one pack by 8:
Cost of 8 packs = $1.25 × 8
Cost of 8 packs = $10
Therefore, it would cost $10 to buy 8 packs of biscuits at this shop.
Given: The coffee at the ordinary cafeteria costs $2.60
If a coffee at a high class cafeteria costs three times as much as a coffee in the ordinary cafeteria, then a coffee at the high class cafeteria costs:
3 × $2.60 = $7.80
Therefore, a coffee at the high class cafeteria costs $7.80.
During the week, Toby bought coffee at the high class cafeteria four times. The total cost of the coffee Toby bought at the high class cafeteria is:
4 × $7.80 = $31.20
During the week, Toby bought coffee six times in the ordinary cafeteria. The total cost of the coffee Toby bought at the ordinary cafeteria is:
6 × $2.60 = $15.60
Therefore, the total amount Toby spent on coffee during the week is:
$31.2 + $15.60 = $46.80
Therefore, Toby spent $46.8 on coffee during the week.
The total number of marbles can be written as a fraction equal to 5/5
If two-fifths of the marbles are red, then the fraction of blue marbles is given by
5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5
Let x be the total number of marbles.
Therefore, the number of red marbles is:
(2/5) × x
There are 60 blue marbles and this is 3/5 of the total number of marbles x, so we can set up an equation:
(3/5) × x = 60
Multiplying both sides by 5/3, we get:
x = 100
Therefore, there are 100 marbles in total.
The number of red marbles is:
(2/5) × x = (2/5) × 100 = 40
Therefore, there are 40 red marbles.
There are 24 hours in a day,
60 minutes in an hour,
and 60 seconds in a minute.
Therefore, the number of seconds in a day is:
24 hours/day × 60 minutes/hour × 60 seconds/minute = 86,400 seconds/day
Multiplying the number of seconds in a day by the number of days in August which is 31, we get:
86,400 seconds/day × 31 days/month = 2,678,400 seconds

The area of the colored region is equal to the area of the rectangle ABCD minus the area of the triangle FED.
cm² is an abbreviation for square centimeter
Area of the rectangle ABCD = length × width = 10 × 5 = 50 cm²
Area of the triangle FED = (1/2) × height × base
The height of the triangle is equal to the width of the rectangle and it is equal to 5 cm. The base of the triangle is equal to 8 cm.
The area of the triangle = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 8 × 5 = 20 cm²
