  1. Hello everybody!

    1. 3.50 / 2 = £1.75
    1.75 + 3.50 = £5.25
    All together they’re £5.25

    2. His number doesn’t have to be an odd number because a multiple of five can end in a zero meaning that it’s an even number.

    3. Cubes = 2/3 Spheres = 1/3

    2/3 of 12.6 = 8.4
    12.6 / 3 = 4.2
    4.2 x 2 = 8.4

    1/3 of 12.6 = 4.2

    8.4kg / 6 = 1.4kg

    The mass of a cube is 1.4kg

    • Hi Sarah, 1 and 2 are right, but have another look at question 3. I can give you a clue if you wish, but know how you like to challenge yourself, so will wait for you to let me know if you want one… you can do it!

  2. Here are my answers:
    1. £5.25
    Here is how i worked it out i did £3.50 divided by 2 which gave me £1.75 then i new that that was how much a pineapple costs so then i just added them together which gave me £5.25. 😉
    p.s didn’t have time to do the rest sorry 🙁
