1. 2000

2. Jane is 12, Ryan is 10.

I agree Jane is 12 and Ryan 10 but get a different solution for the first one.
one-fourth of one-tenth is one-fortieth.
one-half of one-fortieth is one-eightieth
double one-eightieth is back to one-fortieth
one-fortieth of 80 000 is 2 000

mohill

Sorry cancross. I misread your solution as being1 200.

I wonder why you are doing these questions in the night. Either you live somewhere in a different time zone to the UK or you are night shift workers relaxing!!!! or you are insomniacs......

cancross

Different time zone!

Yep different time zones. And no, I am no English major but I do fairly well in it. That is just exactly how the problem was written. My algebra teacher has them every week, so, blame her or where she gets them.
