Should be around that.

DS says he had around one hour to recheck paper 2.

Accordingly to DD2, question was something like this:
Two wires of the same length are used to make a rectangle and a square. The length of the rectangle is 5 times that of its breadth. The length of the square is 9.2 cm shorter than the length of the rectangle. What is the length of the rectangle.

Q13)

alan and ben ran around a 400m track for a competition. alan''s speed was 190m/min. ben's speed was 25m/min less than alan's.
how many complete rounds had alan travelled before he had travelled 300m more than ben?

is the answer 5, 5.7 or 6
i put 6 but the rest of my classmates put 5

shuld be 5 because they asked for complete rounds, and only 5 rounds was completed, the sixth round was 3/4 completed.

Aiya. My DS very careless. He put 5.7. Because, he interpret it wrongly. He did not round down.
