- Cube building blocks
Little Paul was assembling building blocks (a cube is shaped like a cube). He wanted to build a big cube. However, he had 75 dice left, so he increased the edge by one die. Then he was missing 16 dice. How many cubes did he have in the kit? - Sequence 11
What is the nth term of this sequence 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 ...? - There
There is a stretched steel cable between the three columns. The height of the first column is 4 m, and the height of the second is 3.5 m. The distance between the first two columns is 2.5 m, and the distance between the second and third is 5 m. The heels - Wall tile count
How many square tiles with an edge of 10 cm are needed to line a wall 2.4 m long to a height of 1.6 m? - A tenth of a second
A frequent competition, even for amateurs, is long-distance running. The running time was measured with a stopwatch with a precision of one tenth of a second. Two other competitors were diligently overtaking each other in the last metres before the finish - Garden fence wire
We needed 82 m of wire mesh to fence the rectangular garden. The width of the garden is 16 m. What is its area? - Dimensions of the trapezoid
One of the trapezoid bases is one-fifth larger than its height, and the second base is 1 cm larger than its height. Find the dimensions of the trapezoid if its area is 115 cm2 - MO C–I–1 2018
An unknown number is divisible by just four numbers from the set {6, 15, 20, 21, 70}. Determine which ones. - Distance - number line
What is the distance between −93 and 114 on a number line? - Wood
Wood density is 0.6 g/cm³. How many kilograms weigh one m³ of wood? - Drying herbs
Herbs lose 75% of weight by drying. How many fresh herbs do you have to collect if you want to make 1.5 kg of dried herbs? - Simple Interest Calculation
Calculate the interest and rum (APR, annual interest rate) is 2.5% and the principal 50,000. - Tourist Jirka
The distance between points A and B is 13.5 km. George went from point A to point B at an unknown speed and for an unknown period. Back to point A, it went slower by 3 km/h, meaning it went 20 minutes more. How long does George take the return journey? - Student pair selection
The coach must choose two students from Sam, George, Emma, Dan, and Nika to go to the competition. He knows them well and knows that Samo will only go with George or Emma, and Dan will not go with Emma. How many pairs does the trainer have to choose from? - Two numbers
The difference between the two numbers is 7. Their product 144. What are the numbers? - Two water 2
Two water pumps can fill a water tank in 20 minutes. How many minutes will four pumps take to fill the tank at the same rate? - Paper box
The hard rectangular paper has dimensions of 60 cm and 28 cm. We cut off the corners into equal squares, and the residue was bent to form an open box. How long must the largest volume of the box be beside the squares?
