  1. A map uses a scale of 1:50,000. If two towns are 3 cm apart on the map, how far apart are they in reality?

    Answer: 1.5 km

    3 cm × 50,000 = 150,000 cm = 1,500 m = 1.5 km.

  2. A Garda sergeant earns €3,200/month. A constable earns €2,400/month. What is the difference per year?

    Answer: €9,600

    Monthly difference = €3,200 − €2,400 = €800. Annual difference = €800 × 12 = €9,600.

  3. If a patrol car uses 8 litres of fuel per 100 km, how many litres are needed for 350 km?

    Answer: 28

    Fuel = (8 ÷ 100) × 350 = 0.08 × 350 = 28 litres.

  4. Which value is largest: 0.75, 3/5, 65%, 7/10?

    Answer: 0.75

    0.75 = 75%, 3/5 = 60%, 65% = 65%, 7/10 = 70%. The largest is 0.75 = 75%.

  5. A budget of €12,000 is split in the ratio 3:1 between equipment and training. How much goes to training?

    Answer: €3,000

    Total parts = 3 + 1 = 4. Training = 1/4 × €12,000 = €3,000.

  6. A CCTV camera records 6 hours of footage per day. How many hours does it record in a 30-day month?

    Answer: 180

    6 hours/day × 30 days = 180 hours.
