The problem is I dunno how they get/derived the first value angle CBD = 25, or is there something missing from the diagram?

Hi

Where is this question from?

Best wishes

This question is from an assessment book: Challenging 4-in-1 maths from EPH.

Hi, got a qn below that need help:

Sorry for the ugly picture, dunno how to use tools to redraw it. The ans sheet provided gave the following working for (a):

angle CBD = angle ADB = 25
angle IBF = 25 / 2 = 12.5
angle EBD = angle IBF = 12.5
angle CBH = 90 - 12.5 - 25 = 52.5

The problem is I dunno how they get/derived the first value angle CBD = 25, or is there something missing from the diagram?

seems like something is missing....

Can someone help?

Mark’s current age is 1/4 of Ronald’s. In 24 years’ time, Ronald’s age will be 14 years less than twice Mark’s age. What is Ronald’s age now?

Thanks,

[PiggyLalala]

Mark current age: u and Ronald : 4u

24 yrs later, mark age: u + 24 and Ronald : 4u+ 24
Twice Mark age: 2u+ 48
24 years later, Ronald age is 14 less than twice mark age
4u+ 24 +14 =2u+ 48
2u =10
u= 5
Ronald now 20 years old

Hi
More than 1 possible answers -
If packed into boxes of 4, 3 strawberries left --> if we add 1 more, the remainder can be packed into another box of 4

If packed into boxes of 6, 5 strawberries left --> if we add 1 more, the remainder can be packed into another box of 6.

So, if we add 1 more strawberry, the total number of strawberries can be packed into boxes of 4 or boxes of 6 exactly with no remainder --> total number is a multiple of both 4 & 6 --> multiple of 12
Multiples of 12 in the range of 100 to 150 --> 108, 120, 132, 144
Possible number of strawberries --> 107, 119, 131, 143



cheers.
