- On a 40-question final exam in history the problems are split between true/false questions and multiple-choice problems in the ratio of 3 to 5. Find the number of each type of problem.arrow_forwardThere were some students in the school hall. (a) At first, the number of boys was 1/4 the number of girls. Then, 1/3 of the boys and 1/2 the girls went home. A total of 84 students went home. How many students were there in the school hall at first? (b) The number of students at first was 3/2 times the number of teachers. How many teachers were in the school hall?arrow_forwardDustin and Kendra want to split a bag of fun-sized candy, and decide to use the divider-chooser method. The bag contains 100 Snickers, 100 Milky Ways, and 100 Reese's, which Dustin values at $1, $3, and $5 respectively. (This means Dustin values the 100 Snickers together at $1, or $0.01 for 1 Snickers). If Kendra is the divider, and in one half puts: 30 Snickers, 40 Milky Ways, and 66 Reese's a. What is the value of this half in Dustin's eyes? b. Does Dustin consider this a fair share? c. If Dustin was a divider, find a possible division that is consistent with his value system.arrow_forward
- 13 group of 12 friends went bowling. They each rented shoes for $3.00 a pair, and 4 friends bowled games each, while 8 friends bowled 3 games each. Each game bowled cost each person the same amount. The total cost for the shoe rentals and the A games bowled was $212.00. What was the cost, in dollars, of each game bowled? (Note: Disregard the $ sign when gridding your answer.)arrow_forwardKirk and Anika want to split a bag of candy, and decide to use the divider-chooser method. The bag contains 100 Snickers, 100 Milky Ways, and 100 Reese's, which Kirk values at $2, $4, and $3 respectively. If Kirk is the divider, find a possible division that is consistent with his value system.arrow_forwardDane, Enzo and Fraser shared some game cards. Dane had 2/5 of what Enzo had. Enzo had 6 times of what Fraser had. After Dane lost some of his game cards in school, he had 1/7 of the total game cards that Enzo and Fraser had. The three boys had 280 game cards altogether in the end. (a) What was the ratio of Dane's share to Enzo's share to Fraser's share at first? (b) How many game cards did Dane lose in school?arrow_forward
- Mrs Thomas baked 3 types of cookies for sale. She baked 24 more walnut cookies than cashew nut cookies. She baked 48 more cashew nut cookies than almond cookies Mrs Thomas then sold 2/3 of the walnut cookies, 3/4 of the cashew nut cookies and 1/2 of the almond cookies. She had 140 cookies left at the end of the sale. How many walnut cookies did Mrs Thomas bake?arrow_forwardGracia had some pens. 2/5 of the pens were blue and 1/6 of the remainder were black. The rest were green and red. There were 12 more red pens than blue pens. If there were 24 green pens, how many red and blue pens did gracia have? And how many pens did she have altogether?arrow_forwardChristian is selling pencils. He sold 3/5 of them in the morning and 1/4 of the remainder in the afternoon. If Christian sold 200 more pencil in the morning than in the afternoon,how many pencils did Christian have in the beginning?arrow_forward
- 3. Jelma has P1850 in P20, P50, and P100 bills. If she has twice as many P100 bills as P20 bills, and five more P50 bills than PI00 bills, how many of each bill does she have?arrow_forwardThree bakers Ali, Bala and Charles, each baked some muffins. 1/5 of Ali's muffins were equal to 3/10 of Bala's muffins.Bala's muffins were 80% of Charles' muffins. If Bala baked another 300 muffins, he would have the same number of muffins as Charles. (a) Find the ratio of the number of Ali's muffins to the number of Bala's muffins to the number of Charles' muffins. (b) How many muffins did Charles bake?arrow_forwardJoel bought some mangoes, honeydews and watermelons. 5/9 of the fruit bought were mangoes, 1/3 of the fruit bought wore honeydews and the rest were watermelons. He paid $24 more for mangoes than watermelons. A mango costs 1/2 as much as a honeydew and a honeydew coats 1/2 as much as a watermelon. A mango cost $1.50 (a) Find the ratio of the number of mangoes to the ratio of he honeydews to the ratio of the watermelons (b) How many fruit did he buy altogether?arrow_forward
