| Level | P1 |
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.6. | Do 2.5 times 0.4 to get 1 first, then 1.6 times 1 is 1.6. |
| 2 | 36. | Work from the left: 12.6 divided by 0.7 is 18, and 18 divided by 0.5 is 36. |
| 3 | $206.4. | 86 times 2.4 is 206.4, so the cost is 206.4 dollars. |
| 4 | 8 pieces. | 3.2 divided by 0.4 is 32 divided by 4, which is 8. |
| 5 | 20. | 8 times 250 is 2 000, and two decimal places give 20.00, which is 20. |
| 6 | 50. | Multiply both by 100 to get 750 divided by 15, which is 50. |
| 7 | 6 bottles. | 4.5 divided by 0.75 is 450 divided by 75, which is 6. |
| 8 | 6.25. | 0.625 times 1 000 is 625, and 625 divided by 100 is 6.25. |
| 9 | 20.4 kg. | 0.85 times 24 is 20.4, so the total mass is 20.4 kg. |
| 10 | 40. | Multiply both by 100 to get 120 divided by 3, which is 40; a divisor under 1 must give a larger answer. |
Pair numbers that make a whole first, then finish from the left.Tutor Registration →
