  1. A school has 480 pupils. 3/8 of them bring packed lunches. How many pupils bring packed lunches?

    Answer: 180

    3/8 of 480: First find 1/8 of 480 = 60. Then 3 × 60 = 180 pupils.

  2. A square has an area of 49 cm². What is the length of one side?

    Answer: 7 cm

    Area of a square = side × side. So side = √49 = 7 cm.

  3. Tom has £5.00. He buys a sandwich for £2.35 and a drink for £1.20. How much change does he receive?

    Answer: £1.45

    Total spent = £2.35 + £1.20 = £3.55. Change = £5.00 − £3.55 = £1.45.

  4. The angles in a triangle add up to 180°. Two angles are 65° and 48°. What is the third angle?

    Answer: 67°

    Third angle = 180° − 65° − 48° = 180° − 113° = 67°.

  5. A recipe for 4 people uses 300g of flour. How much flour is needed for 10 people?

    Answer: 750g

    For 1 person: 300 ÷ 4 = 75g. For 10 people: 75 × 10 = 750g.

  6. A number sequence goes: 2, 6, 18, 54, ... What is the next number?

    Answer: 162

    Each number is multiplied by 3: 2 × 3 = 6, 6 × 3 = 18, 18 × 3 = 54, 54 × 3 = 162.
