  1. If a map scale is 1:50,000, how many km does 4 cm on the map represent?

    Answer: 2 km

    4 cm × 50,000 = 200,000 cm = 2,000 m = 2 km.

  2. A recipe calls for flour and sugar in the ratio 5:2. If you use 300g of flour, how much sugar do you need?

    Answer: 120g

    5 parts = 300g, so 1 part = 60g. Sugar = 2 parts = 120g.

  3. A store increases prices by 10% and then offers a 10% discount. Is the final price equal to the original?

    Answer: No, it is 1% less than the original

    Starting at $100: +10% = $110, then -10% of $110 = $99. That is 1% less.

  4. Express 3/8 as a percentage.

    Answer: 37.5%

    3 ÷ 8 = 0.375 = 37.5%.

  5. A population grows from 5,000 to 6,500. What is the percentage increase?

    Answer: 30%

    Increase = 1,500. Percentage increase = (1,500/5,000) × 100 = 30%.

  6. If the ratio of cats to dogs in a shelter is 7:4 and there are 28 cats, how many dogs are there?

    Answer: 16

    7 parts = 28 cats, so 1 part = 4. Dogs = 4 parts × 4 = 16.
