Sagot :

1) answer = 360
explanation =
-> 10% of 300 = 300*10
-> 10% of 300 = 30
-> 20% = 10% x 2
-> 20% = 30 x 2
-> 20% = 60
-> 300 yards ( distance they ran ) + 60 yards ( how much more distance Quadra ran ) = 360 yards
2) answer = Newton spends 10 minutes or 1/6 hours reading
explanation =
-> 25% = 1/4
-> 40*4= 10
-> 1 hrs = 60 min
-> 10 min x 6 = 60 min
-> 1/6 hrs = 10 min
3) answer = 30 fish
explanation =
-> 40% = 12
-> 10% = 3
-> 40*4=10 and 12*4=3
-> 10% + 40% = 50% so 12 + 3 = 15
-> 50% = 15 and 100% = 15 x 2
-> 100% = 30
4) answer = 30
explanation =
-> 1/4 is equal to 25 %
-> add up all the prrcentages ( 25% + 10% + 15% = 50% )
-> she have 50% of tej chocolates Which were in the tin she bought away and kept 15 chocolates to herself
-> 50% = 1/2
-> 50% x 2 = 100%
-> 15 x 2 = 30
