See if you can solve the following problems. If you need help, visit the Hints page.
1. The numbers 2,4,6 and 8 are a set of four consecutive even numbers. Suppose the sum of five consecutive even numbers is 320. What is the smallest of the five numbers?
2. Amy can move 600 square yards of grass in 1 and 1/2 hours. At this rate, how many minutes would it take her to mow 600 square feet?
3. Express the extended fraction at the right as a simple fraction in lowest terms. (See diagram on handout).
4. There are many numbers that divide 109 with a remainder of 4. List all two-digit numbers that have that property.
5.A dealer packages marbles in two different box sizes. One size holds 5 marbles and the other size holds 12 marbles. If the dealer packaged 99 marbles and used more than 10 boxes, how many boxes of each size did he use?
