1. The base of a pyramid has 6 sides. In all, this pyramid has (6 + 1) 7 vertices.
4. A period of 8 weeks is equal to (8 x 7) 56 days. A period of (56 + 8) 64 days represents more than
63 days.
6. There are about (6 x 30) 180 days or a little less than (180 ÷ 7) 26 weeks in a period of 6 months.
You will go to the gym approximately (26 x 5) 130 times over a period of 6 months.
13. 3 hundreds (300) + 50 ones + 16 tens (160) is equal to (300 + 50 + 160) 510.
14. 2 m (200 cm) + 1 dm (10 cm) + 5 cm is equal to (200 + 10 + 5) 215 cm.
15. There are 3 different ways (10 x $2, 4 x $5, and (2 x $5 + 5 x $2)) to make change for a $20 bill if
you were using $5 bills and $2 coins.
16. Zero diagonals can be drawn in a triangle. Two diagonals can be drawn in a quadrilateral, and 5
can be drawn in a pentagon. If you analyse closely these three numbers, you can see that they
form a logical sequence. Indeed, 0 + 2 = 2, 2 + 3 = 5. The number of diagonals that can be drawn in
a hexagon is (5 + 4) 9.
17. From N x N = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1, we
deduct that N x N = 16 = 4 x 4 and that N = 4.
The value of 10 x N is equal to (10 x 4) 40.
21. The divisors of 10 are {1, 2, 5, 10}, those of 12 are {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}, and those of 36 are
{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36}. The GCD of 10, 12, and 36 is 2.
22. Diagonal AB of a rectangle is represented
in the diagram. The coordinates of one
of the other two vertices of the rectangle
are (7 , 2).
25. We can calculate the number of pages that Mathilda read by finding the numerator in the equation:
6/5 = ?/75. Mathilda has read (6 x 15) 90 pages.
27. The difference between any two prime numbers is always even, except when one of the two prime
numbers is the number 2 (the only even prime number). The second prime number is (5 + 2) 7.
Their sum is (2 + 7) 9.
34. Mathew’s car is travelling at 90 km/h, and Mathilda’s at 100 km/h. Every hour, Mathilda will
cover 10 km more than Mathew. Being only 2 km behind Mathew, it will take her (60 ÷5) 12
minutes to catch up to Mathew.
