(a) tue to wed 6am = 24 hours
Time lag behind = 24 x 6 = 144 mins = 2 hours 24 mins
So time on clock on Wed will be 3:36 am

(b) tue to tue = 7 days = 24 x 7 = 168 hours.
Time lag behind = 168 x 6 = 1008 mins = 16 hrs 48 mins
So time on clock will be Mon 1:12pm

Hi! Need help with this P3 Maths Question :thankyou: in advance.


Ann,Ben and Carl had a race.
After ten minutes, Ann had run thrice as far ad Carl.
Ben was 300m ahead of Carl and 480m behind Ann.
(a) How far did Carl run?
(b) if Ann was 430m away from the finishing line, what was the total distance of the race?

Draw model to show your working; give your answer in kilometres and metres.

Giving it a try, on ipad it is difficult to draw model



D _______________________

A. [3u]-------430m------

B. []----480m----

C. [u]–300m–

So
2u = 300m + 480m
u = 390m

Total distance D = 3x390m + 430m
= 1600m
= 1km 600m

D _____________________________________________

A. [____________3u_______________]-------430m------

B. [__________________]----480m----

C. [____u_____]--300m--

So
2u = 300m + 480m
u = 390m

Total distance D = 3x390m + 430m
= 1600m
= 1km 600m

Hi

5 bags + 5 books = 3 kg 59g + 5 kg 36g = 8kg 95g = 8095 g
1 bag + 1 book = 1619 g

4 bags + 2 books = 5 kg 36g = 5036 g
2 bags = 5036 - 2 x 1619 = 1798, 1 bag = 899 g
8 bags + 5 books = 3 x 899 + 5 x 1619 = 10792 = 10kg 792g

cheers.
