SOLUTIONS & ANSWERS

Part 1: 15 seconds (11 items)

1.Solution 8:00 P.M. + 9 hours is 5:00 A.M.

5:00 A.M. – 4 hours is 1:00 A.M.

Answer: 1:00 A.M.

2.Solution 210 x 58 = (2 x 5)8 x 22 = 108 x 4 = 100 000

000 x 4 = 4 000 000 000

Answer: 9

3.Solution bottom layer: 4 x 3 unit cubes upper layer: 4 x 3 unit cubes

middle layers: 4 x 3 unit cubes

total number of unit cubes with exactly two painted faces each

=(4x3)+(4x3)+(4X3) Answer: 36

4.Solution 20 = 22 x 5

So the smallest number that should be mult iplied by 20 so that the product is a

perfect cube is 2 x 52 which is equal to 50.

Answer: 50

5.Solution 1600 4 4 4 = 25

Answer: P25

6.Solution The bigger the absolute value of a

negative number, the smaller is the

negative number. So x (for mult iplication) should be placed before -9.

÷ (for division) cannot be placed after 3

because it will be performed first and performing division then mult iplication will

not result to the least answer. - (for subtraction) cannot be placed

after 3 also because 3 – 6 is -3 which

when mult iplied by -9 gives a posit ive answer,

Therefore, + (for addit ion) should be placed after 3. So, 3 + 6 x (-9) = -51

Answers: +, x (order must be correct)

7.Solution

4 t imes 7

9.Solution

2 + 4 + 6 + … 96 + 98 + 100

Pair the numbers so that each pair will total

102 as shown above. Then mult iply 102 by the number of pairs which is 25.

So 25 x 102 = 2550

Answer: 2550

Part 2: 30 seconds (5 items)

1.Solution 109 – 4 = 105 105 = 3 x 5 x 7

Mult iply two factors of 105 at a t ime, i.e. 3 x

5, 3 x 7, and 5 x 7. Answers: 15, 21, 35

2.Solution The area of the base must be a divisor of 42.

But 42 = 3 x 7 x 2. For the perimeter to be 18

cm, the base must be 7 cm x 2 cm. Therefore the height of the prism is 3 cm.

Answer: 3 cm

3.Solution To obtain the least number of packs,

maximize the packs of 5.

42 5 = 8 remainder 2 The sum of the smallest mult iple of 5 and

the remainder 2 that is divisible by 3 is 12. So, 4 packs of 3 pens and 6 packs of 5

pens. And 4 + 6 = 10.

Answer: 10

4.Solution To get the lowest possible score on one

test, Lina’s score in each of the 3 other quizzes should be perfect. This gives 3 x 50

= 150 as her total score in 3 quizzes. Her

total score in 4 quizzes is 4 x 45 = 180. So, her score in 1 quiz must be 180 – 150 = 30.

Answer: 30

5.Solution The least common mult iple of 18 and 12 is

36.

So 1:30 P.M. + 36 minutes is 2:06 P.M. Answer: 2:06 P.M. or 14:06

Part 3: 60 seconds (5 items)

1.Solution For the product to be smallest, the digit 2

must be the tens digit of the two-digit number and the digit 3 must be the

hundreds digit of the three-digit number.

Then 5 must be the ones digit of the two-

digit number and 6 must be the tens digit

of the three-digit number. This is so because the mult iplier 25 is the smallest

possible. Answer: 25 and 367

Answer: 42

3.Solution 68 4 = 17 tables Therefore one possible combination is 4

stools and 14 tables.

For the other combinations on the number of stools (s) and the number of tables (t),

the number of stools should be mult iples of 4 in order to use all the legs.

Answer: (s, t) = (4, 14), (8, 11), (12, 8), (16,

5), (20, 2)

4.Solution 81-31 = 50 so Lea’s recorded score is 50 less

than her actual score. 85-65 = 20 so Ben’s recorded score is 20

more than his actual score.

50 – 20 = 30 should be added to the total of the scores of the class

30 50 = .6 So 83 + .6 = 83.6

Answer: 83.6 or 83.60

5.Solution The differences between the last number

and first number in rows 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5,

respectively are 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. The 25th number in this pattern is 48.

Having 29 correct answers is not possible because this means that there will be 12 incorrect answers and the total number of items will be 41 which is already over 40 without accounting for the items with no answer.

Having 32 correct answers is not possible because there will be no items with incorrect and no answer but it is

given that Lina had incorrect answers, and no answers.

3.Solution

The sums of the numbers in the rows are 1, 8, 27, and 64 which are all perfect cubes, i. e. 13, 23, 33, and 43, respectively. Continuing the pattern, the sums are 125, 216, and 343, i.e. 53, 63, and 73. So it is the 7th row.

Answer: 7th or 7

4.Solution

Take any square with area greater than 6 cm say a 10 cm x 10 cm square. Its area is 100 square cm.
