Answer 1

4: A school has 314 boys & 310 girls. If they are to be grouped into equal classes of 26 each , how many classes will there be?

314 boys + 310 girls = 624

If they are grouped into classes of 26 students each, how many class will there be?

130 students = 5 classes

Therefore

260 students = 10 classes

260 x 2 = 520 = 20 classes

26 x 24 = 624

Number of classes = 24

Question 5).

Jim worked 48 weeks last year. Each week he worked 38 hours. If he worked an additional 240 hours of overtime, how many hours did he work in all?

Solution:

48 weeks

24hrs × 7 = 168hrs

168 x 48 = 8,064

Additional 240hrs

= 168hrs = 7 days (a week)

240hrs - 168 = 72 (3days)

168 + 72

= 240hrs + 8, 064

= 8, 304 hrs
