1 .
What is 25% of 80?
15
20
25
30
One-quarter of any number is 25% of that number. Therefore, 1?4 of 80 is 20.
2 .
There are 16 sweets in a packet. Lisa eats 38 of the sweets. How many sweets does Lisa eat?
5
6
7
8
3?8 of 16 = (3 ÷ 8) x 16 = 6 sweets.
3 .
What is 35% of 60?
18
21
24
27
Multiply 60 by 35% or 0.35. Therefore, 60 x 0.35 = 21.
4 .
Calculate 65% of 120.
78
80
85
90
Cheap trick: To work out 65% of 120, you divide 120 by 100 to get 1% (1.2), multiply that by 65 to get 65%. So, 1.2 x 65 = 78.
5 .
What is 75% of 80?
50
55
60
65
75% is the same as 3?4. So, 3?4 of 80 = 3 ÷ 4 x 80 = 60.
6 .
A necklace is made from 70% gold and 30% silver. If the necklace weighs 200g, how much of it is made of gold (if we assume that gold and silver weigh the same)?
120g
130g
140g
150g
70% of 200g is calculated by (70 ÷:100) x 200 = 140g.
7 .
If you divide £90 in the ratio 1:2, how much is the smaller share?
£20
£30
£40
£50
First, add the parts of the ratio (1 + 2 = 3). Then, divide £90 by this: 9 ÷ 3 = 30. Hence, smaller share is £30.
8 .
Write the ratio 4 to 20 in its simplest form.
2:10
1:5
1:6
2:8
Dividing each side of the ratio by their highest common factor, which is 4, gives us 1:5.
9 .
The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:2. If there are 15 boys, how many girls are there?
8
9
10
11
The value of each part of the ratio is given by: 15 (boys) ÷ 3 (parts) = 5. Hence, for girls: 5 (value per part) x 2 (parts) = 10.
10 .
Bread is to flour as sandwich is to...?
Chicken
Cheese
Bread
Cucumber
This is an example of part-whole relationship. Just as bread is a part of a sandwich, flour is a part of bread.
