=1/8

21
Q

Write this ratio in the form n:1

10:4

A

10:4
n:1 (÷4)
2.5:1

To turn the 4 into a 1, divide by 4. Now divide the 10 by 4 to find n.

22
Q

5:12

A

5:12
1:n (÷5)
1:2.4

23
Q

Write this ratio in the form 1:n

0.5:2

A

0.5:2
1:n (x 2)
1:4

(to get to this answer you could multiply by 2 or divide by 0.5)

24
Q

What does 1cm to 100m mean as a ratio on a map?

A

1 : 10 000

Every 1cm on the map equals 10,000cm (or 100m) on the ground.

25
Q

What does 1cm to 1km mean as a ratio on a map?

A

1 : 100 000

Every 1cm on the map equals 100,000 cm (or 1km) on the ground.

26
Q

What does 1cm to 3km mean as a ratio on a map?

A

1 : 300 000

Every 1 cm on the map equals 300,000cm (or 3km) on the ground.

27
Q

The number of robins in a woodland area is counted over two different months. In December 15 robins were counted. In January 23 robins were counted. What is the percentage increase of robins in the woodland?

A

a) the difference between the two numbers is 8
b) 8 ÷ 15 × 100 = 53.3
c) the percentage increase of robins found in the woodland is: 53.3%

28
Q

The number of robins in a woodland in February and March is counted. In February 22 robins were counted. In March 12 robins were counted. What is the percentage decrease of robins in the woodland?

A

a) the difference between the two numbers is 10
b) 10 ÷ 22 × 100 = 45.4
c) the percentage decrease of robins found in the woodland is: 45.4%

29
Q

Using a multiplier, increase £270 by 20%.

A

An increase of 20% means I have 120% of the original amount.

120% as a multiplier is 1.2

£270 x 1.2 = £324

30
Q

Using a multiplier, decrease £135 by 7%.

A

A decrease of 7% means I have 93% of the original amount.

93% as a multiplier is 0.93

£135 x 0.93 = £125.55

31
Q

Reverse Percentage

45% of a number is 36. Find the original number.

A

Reverse percentage means working backwards to find the original amount, given a percentage of that amount.

45% = 36
÷45 ÷45
1% = 0.8
x100 x100
100% = 80

32
Q

125 ÷ 100 =

A

125 ÷ 100 = 1.25

33
Q

95 ÷ 100 =

A

0.95

34
Q

Increase £230 by 30%

A

230 x 1.3 = 299

35
Q

Decrease £65 by 45%

A

65 x 0.55 = 34.65

36

A

365 ÷ 10 = 36.5

37
Q

What is 5% of 240?

A

240 ÷ 10 = 24
24 ÷ 2 = 12

(find 10% then divide by 2)

38
Q

What is 1% of 546?

A

546 ÷ 100 = 5.46

To find 1% of something (1/100 of something), divide by 100. Remember how to divide by 100 mentally: Just move the decimal point two places to the left. )

39
Q

What is 2% of 75?

A

75 ÷ 100 x 2 = 1.5

(Find 1% and multiply by 2)

1345 ÷ 10 x 2
=134.5 x 2
=269

(Find 10% then multiply by 2)

41
Q

What is 25% of 12550?

A

12550 ÷ 4 = 3,137.5

42
Q

What is 75% of 650?

A

10% of 2100 = 210.
so 40% = 840
1% = 2100 ÷ 100 = 21

FOIL Method

(x = 4) (x + 8)

A

(x = 4) (x + 8)
=x^2 + 8x + 4x + 32
=x^2 +12x +32

The letters FOIL stand for First, Outer, Inner, Last. First means multiply the terms which occur first in each binomial. Then Outer means multiply the outermost terms in the product.
