From our database of math word problems and examples, we offer the following:
- Metal washers
Metal washers with a diameter of 80 mm are cut from a strip of steel sheet with a width of 10 cm and a length of 2 m. When two adjacent circles meet, calculate the material waste percentage if no material is lost. - Find whole
Find whole numbers between 155 and 232 that are divisible by 2, 5, and 10. - One side 3
One side of a triangular banner is 1 1/2 times longer than the second side and 2cm shorter than the third side. The perimeter of the triangle is 98cm. How long is the shortest side? - Subtract mixed 2
Subtract mixed numbers: 3 1/2 - 2 4/5 (3 and one half - 2 and four-fifths.) Remember you need to make these into improper fractions before subtracting. - Embankment 7879
