He wishes to cut the three pieces of ropes into smaller pieces of equal length with no remainders. (a) (b) Solution: (a) 112 = 24 x 7 96 = 25 x 3 64 = 26 HCF of 64, 96, 112 = 24 = 16 Greatest length = 16 cm. (b) 14. Total number of pieces of ribbons =
(112 + 96 + 64) = 17 16

What is the greatest possible length of each of the smaller pieces of ribbon? What is the total number of pieces of ribbon in the end?

A car travelled from Town A to Town B at an average speed of 90 km/h. After 1 traveling of the journey in 45 minutes, he continued another 120 km to reach Town B. 3 Find (a) the distance between Town A and Town B, (b) the time taken for the second part of the journey, (c) his average speed for the second part of his journey. Solution: (a) Let the distance between Town A and Town B be x km.

2 x = 120 3 3 = 180 2 Distance between Town A and Town B is 180 km. x = 120

(b)

Total Time =

Total distance 180 180 = = = 2h Avg Speed Avg Speed 90

Time taken for 2nd part of the journey = 120 min 45 min = 75 min. (c) Average speed for the second part of his journey =

120 = 96 km/h 75 60

Form an equation and solve it to find the largest of the 3 numbers. Solution: Smallest of the 3 numbers = n The 2nd number = n + 2 The largest number = n + 4 n + n + 2 + n + 4 = 3n + 6 = 210 3n = 210 6 = 204 n = 204 3 = 68 68 + 4 = 72 The largest of the 3 numbers is 72. ~END~
