Question 8:

A pile of 40 books is 92.8 cm high. Some books were removed, reducing the pile height to 81.2 cm. How many books were removed?

1. Calculate the height of one book: $\text{Height of one book} = \frac{\text{Total height}}{\text{Total books}} = \frac{92.8}{40} = 2.32 \, \text{cm}$

2. Calculate the number of books corresponding to the remaining height: $\text{Remaining books} = \frac{\text{New height}}{\text{Height of one book}} = \frac{81.2}{2.32} \approx 35 \, \text{books}$

3. Subtract the remaining books from the total books: $\text{Books removed} = 40 - 35 = 5$

Answer: 5 books were removed.

Question 9:

Cindy left home at 8:45 a.m. Her walk to the station took 0.3 hours, and her train ride took 24 minutes. She waited $\frac{1}{12}$ of an hour at the station. What time did she arrive at her destination?

1. Convert 0.3 hours to minutes: $0.3 \, \text{hours} = 0.3 \times 60 = 18 \, \text{minutes}$

2. Add the walking and train travel times in minutes: $18 \, \text{minutes} + 24 \, \text{minutes} = 42 \, \text{minutes}$

3. Convert $\frac{1}{12}$ of an hour to minutes: $\frac{1}{12} \, \text{hours} = \frac{1}{12} \times 60 = 5 \, \text{minutes}$

4. Add the waiting time to the total: $42 \, \text{minutes} + 5 \, \text{minutes} = 47 \, \text{minutes}$

5. Add 47 minutes to 8:45 a.m.: $8:45 + 47 \, \text{minutes} = 9:32 \, \text{a.m.}$

Answer: Cindy arrived at her destination at 9:32 a.m.

Question 10:

The vet and two cats weigh 92.456 kg together. If each cat weighs 2.350 kg, how much does the vet weigh?

1. Calculate the total weight of the two cats: $\text{Weight of two cats} = 2.350 \times 2 = 4.700 \, \text{kg}$

2. Subtract the cats' weight from the total weight: $\text{Vet's weight} = 92.456 - 4.700 = 87.756 \, \text{kg}$

Answer: The vet weighs 87.756 kg.
