 EXERCISES 2

1. Write the following fractions in English and write the results

½ + ¼ = one half plus one fourth equal three fourths

⅝ . ¾ = five eights times three fourths equal point four six eighth
⅝ - ¾ = five eights minus three fourths equal minus one eighth
⅞ ÷ ½ = seven eighths divided by one half equal seven quarts
2. Write the answer in English

While weighing twenty of one-kilogram sugar bags we noted the measured values in kg:
 1.00_____________ > One point zero zero
 1.01_____________ > One point zero one
 1.05_____________ > One point zero five
 0.99_____________ > Point nine nine
 0.95_____________ > Point nine five
 1.00_____________ > One point zero
 0.98_____________ > Point nine eight
 0.99_____________ > Point nine nine
 1.04_____________ > One point zero four
 1.06_____________ > One point zero six
 0.93_____________ > Point nine three
 1.00_____________ > One point zero zero
 1.03_____________ > One point zero three
 0.97_____________ > Point nine seven
 1.00_____________ > One point zero zero
 0.99_____________ > Point nine nine
 1.05_____________ > One point zero five
 1.01_____________ > One point zero one
 0.94_____________ > Point nine four
 1.00_____________ > One point zero zero

Determine the median and the variance of the measured weight.

 Median, nineteen point nine nine divided by twenty equals point nine nine nine five.
 The variance of the measured weight equals the square of point zero zero one two.
taking into account the following formula.

What is the least number of squares in the chocolate which we can divide fairly between 5
friends, also between 7 friends?: The chocolate may have 35 squares.

During the reconstruction of the railway tracks 40-meter-long pieces of rails were replaced by
