(Remember to work with only one unit)
x = 4,029m + 0,7m + 5,47m + 7,803m = 18,002m
The length from beginning to end will be 18,002m

3. Ellie has to take 1 256mg of Vitamin C; 0,815g of Magnesium and a Calcium tablet.
The total mass of the three tablets adds up to 2,649g. How many milligrams is the mass of the
Calcium tablet.
2 649mg - (1 256mg + 815mg) =
(3)
x (Remember: Only work with one unit e.g. mg or g!)
x = 2 649mg - 2 071mg = 578mg
The Calcium tablet has a mass of 578mg.
4. PPC Cement will provide ⅝ of the 38 tonnes of cement needed to construct the new office
park. A third of the remainder of the cement required, will be provided by Lafarge Cement,
while the rest will be provided by Sepaku Cement.
a)
How many kilograms of cement will be provided by each company?
⅝ x 38 000kg =
x
(38 000kg - x) ÷ 3 =
38 000kg
y
- (x + y ) = z
x = 38 000kg ÷ 8 x 5 = 23 750kg
y = (38 000kg - 23 750kg) ÷ 3 = 14 250kg ÷ 3 = 4 750kg
z = 38 000kg - (23 750kg + 4 750kg) = 38 000kg - 28 500kg = 9 500kg
PPC Cement will provide 23 750kg of cement.
Lafarge Cement will provide 4 750kg of cement.
Sepaku Cement will provide 9 500kg of cement.
