Hi, pse assist on the 2 quest:


1. Miss Wang got her pupils to form a circle. They stood at an equal distance apart from each other and were numbered in order. The pupil with number 5 stood directly across from the pupil with number 19. How many pupils were there in the circle?

2. Tan, Lim and Wong had some pens to sell. Tan had the least number of pens. Wong’s number of pens was 30% less then Lim. After Tan and Lim had each sold 50% of their pens, Lim had 95 more pens than Tan. If the 3 men had a total of 330 pens left, what was the total number of pens they had at first?

TIA

Hi

Start with a simple visual representation.

Number of pupils between 5 and 19 ------- 14-1 ------13

Number of pupils in circle ------- 13+13+2 ------- 28

To Tianzhu, pls help with my math booklet HW last question,

OPQRS is part of a circle of radius 10cm. OPR and OQS are quarter circles. The area of the shaded part OQR is 40cm2, and the perimeter of the shaded part OQR is 28cm.

For each following, use the calculator value of pi to find,
(a) the area of the figure OPQRS, correct to 2 decimal places,
(b) the perimeter of the figure OPQRS, correct to 2 decimal places

2. Tan, Lim and Wong had some pens to sell. Tan had the least number of pens. Wong's number of pens was 30% less then Lim. After Tan and Lim had each sold 50% of their pens, Lim had 95 more pens than Tan. If the 3 men had a total of 330 pens left, what was the total number of pens they had at first?

Hi

Lim ------- 10 units

Wong ------ 7 units

After Tan and Lim had each sold 50% of their pens,

Lim ------- 5 units

Tan ------- 5 units – 95

Wong ------- 7 units

17 units – 95 ------- 330

1 unit ------ 25

I’ll leave it to you to work out the rest of the details. The answer is 485.

Hi

Don’t worry too much about not having the same answers as me. My answers may not be correct.

To better illustrate the solution, it’s preferable to have some form of visual representation.

I’ll PM to you, hopefully, by tomorrow evening.

Best wishes
