If your dogsled is being pulled by 6 odd-eyed huskies, how many blue eyes do they have all together? 

Mathematical Equivalence

ON

Answer explanation

 If the stable has 18 horses and half have 2 brown eyes while the rest have just 1 brown eye, how many brown eyes do they have?

Mathematical Equivalence

ON

Answer explanation

27 brown eyes, since 9 of the horses have 2 brown eyes, 9 have just 1.

Only 1/20 of all cats are white, and only about 1/2 of those are odd-eyed. So out of 80 cats, how many of them should be white cats with different colored eyes?

• 20

• 4

• 2

• 1

If 6 out of every 1,000 people have two different-colored eyes, how many people out of 10,000 would you expect to have them?

• 6

• 60

• 600

• 6000

Answer explanation

10,000 ÷ 1,000 = 10 groups. 6 people × 10 groups = 60 people.

If a town has 5,000 people, and 6 out of every 1,000 people have two different-colored eyes, about how many people might have two different-colored eyes?

• 30

• 50

• 300

• 500

Answer explanation

5,000 ÷ 1,000 = 5 groups.

6 people × 5 groups = 30 people.

If 11 out of 1,000 people have two different-colored eyes, what is the percentage?

Answer explanation

150 × 2 = 300

A team wants to run 1,200 miles. How many days will that take if they run 150 miles a day?

Mathematical Equivalence

ON

Answer explanation

1,200 ÷ 150 = 8

If the team runs 100 miles one day and 160 miles the next, what’s their average for the two days?

Mathematical Equivalence

ON

Answer explanation

Answer: 130 miles per day
Explanation: (100 + 160) ÷ 2 = 260 ÷ 2 = 130
