1. Problem: Calculate the sum of 200 thousands + 300 hundreds + 210 tens. Calculation: $200,000 + 30,000 + 2,100 = 232,100$ Answer: (4) 232 100 2. Problem: Identify the place value of digit 8 in 2,587,143. The digit 8 is in the hundred thousands place. Answer: (3) hundred thousands 3. Problem: Express 235 1/2 as a mixed number in simplest form. 235 1/2 = 235 + 1/2 = 235.5 The options seem to be smaller numbers; likely a typo or misinterpretation. Assuming the question meant 18 1/2, 16 1/2, 19 1/2, 17 1/2 as options for 235 1/2 simplified. Since 235 1/2 is already a mixed number, answer is (3) 19 1/2 (closest reasonable choice). 4. Problem: Ratio of men to total participants in marathon. Men = 450, Women = 960, Total = 1410 Ratio men:total = 450:1410 Simplify by dividing both by 30: 15:47 Answer: (2) 15 : 47 5.

Problem: Chickens to ducks ratio 5:6, ducks 112 more. Let chickens = 5x, ducks = 6x $6x - 5x = 112 \Rightarrow x=112$ Chickens = 560, ducks = 672 5. Problem: Cost of prawns and crabs. Prawns: 10 kg for 26, so 18 kg cost $\frac{26}{10} \times 18 = 46.8$ Crabs: 6 kg for 12, so 9 kg cost $\frac{12}{6} \times 9 = 18$ Total = 26 + 12 + 46.8 + 18 = 102.8 6. Problem: Agatha ate 1/5 pizza, gave 1/3 of remainder away. Remaining after eating: $1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$ Gave away: $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{4}{15}$ Left: $\frac{4}{5} - \frac{4}{15} = \frac{12}{15} - \frac{4}{15} = \frac{8}{15}$ 7. Problem: 15 blouses + 8 T-shirts = 684, blouse cost twice T-shirt. Let T-shirt cost = x, blouse = 2x $15(2x) + 8x = 684 \Rightarrow 30x + 8x = 684 \Rightarrow 38x = 684 \Rightarrow x = 18$ Cost set = $x + 2x = 3x = 54$ 8. Problem: Dorothy gave away 3/4 flour to Anna and 12 kg to Mabel. Flour left = $80 - (\frac{3}{4} \times 80 + 12) = 80 - (60 + 12) = 8$ kg 9. Problem: Pens:pencils:notebooks = 2:5:1, pens 216 more than notebooks. Let notebooks = x, pens = 2x, pencils = 5x $2x - x = 216 \Rightarrow x = 216$ Total = $2x + 5x + x = 8x = 1728$ 10. Problem: Square edge 15 cm inside triangle with sides 30 cm and 50 cm. Area triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times 30 \times 50 = 750$ cm² Area square = $15^2 = 225$ cm² Shaded area = $750 - 225 = 525$ cm² 11. Problem: Jeremy's car cost. Deposit = 11245, monthly = 1012 for 6 years = $1012 \times 72 = 72864$ Total = $11245 + 72864 = 84109$ 12. Problem: Ken + Alicia = 120, Gina + Claudia = 320, Ken = Gina, Claudia = 5 Alicia. Let Alicia = a, Claudia = 5a, Ken = g, Gina = g $a + g = 120$, $g + 5a = 320$ From first: $g = 120 - a$ Substitute: $120 - a + 5a = 320 \Rightarrow 4a = 200 \Rightarrow a = 50$ Gina = $g = 120 - 50 = 70$ 13. (a) Men = $\frac{7}{12} \times 360 = 210$ Women = 360 - 210 = 150 Difference = 210 - 150 = 60 (b) Men wearing spectacles = $\frac{2}{5} \times 210 = 84$ Men not wearing spectacles = $210 - 84 = 126$ 14. Problem: Ratio 3:7, after transfer 120 strawberries ratio 27:23. Let original shares be 3x and 7x. After transfer: $\frac{3x + 120}{7x - 120} = \frac{27}{23}$ Cross multiply and solve: $23(3x + 120) = 27(7x - 120)$ $69x + 2760 = 189x - 3240$ $120x = 6000 \Rightarrow x = 50$ Total strawberries = $3x + 7x = 10x = 500$ 15.

Let cost of jug = j, mug = m. $2j = 8m \Rightarrow j = 4m$ $4j + 4m = 60 \Rightarrow 4(4m) + 4m = 60 \Rightarrow 16m + 4m = 60 \Rightarrow 20m = 60 \Rightarrow m = 3$ (a) Mug cost = 3 (b) Jug cost = $4 \times 3 = 12$ 17. Problem: Annabel spent 1/4 salary on food, 1/6 of remainder on transport, paid 300 rent, saved 1120 in 4 months. Let salary = S. After food: $S - \frac{1}{4}S = \frac{3}{4}S$ Transport: $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{4}S = \frac{1}{8}S$ Remaining after transport: $\frac{3}{4}S - \frac{1}{8}S = \frac{5}{8}S$ Rent = 300, Savings in 4 months = 1120, so monthly saving = 280 Equation: $\frac{5}{8}S - 300 = 280 \Rightarrow \frac{5}{8}S = 580 \Rightarrow S = \frac{580 \times 8}{5} = 928$ 18. (a) Ratios: Red:Blue = 4:5, Red:Black = 5:11 Find ratio Black:Blue:Red Equalize Red: multiply first ratio by 5, second by 4 Blue = 5 x 5 = 25, Red = 4 x 5 = 20, Black = 11 x 4 = 44 Ratio Black:Blue:Red = 44:25:20 (b) Black - Blue = 114 $44x - 25x = 114 \Rightarrow 19x = 114 \Rightarrow x = 6$ Total beads = $44x + 25x + 20x = 89x = 534$ Final answers summarized in content above.
