1999_Solutions_Levels_7&8

Pdf Summary

The document is a set of suggested solutions for the Math Kangaroo 1999 competition, focusing on levels 7 and 8. The solutions break down and explain the answers to a series of mathematical problems, each denoted by a number. The answers include specific mathematical computations and logic presented in a structured format.<br /><br />1. A 24 cm perimeter is found by combining identical squares to form a new rectangle.<br />2. A unique kangaroo clock's hour hand positioning was clarified, distinguishing it from a regular clock.<br />3. Calculations reveal Joanna bought three pens and two pencils through logical division and subtraction.<br />4. Geometric considerations determine a shaded area as one-fourth of a square, sized as 28 cm².<br />5. A simple arithmetic solution for page number sums gave the page as 170.<br />6. Broken clock deduction led to finding the earlier woken up time accurately at 3:30 AM.<br />7. A future age summation equated the father's age to his sons' combined future ages, deducing a timeline of 10 years.<br />8. The triangle count on a sheet amounted to 8 by evaluating cutting processes.<br />9. Weight comparison between animals suggested a dog 30 times heavier than a turnip.<br />10. Angle considerations using supplementary insights resulted in solving angle measures.<br />11. Reductions through fractional terms offered clarity in deciding a specific numeric solution.<br />12. A calculated sum across years from 1900 to 1999 resulted in a grand total of 180,000.<br /><br />The document extends complex mathematical reasoning into solving further problems, often involving algebraic expressions, geometric properties, logical reasoning, and number theory principles. Each solution is precisely calculated to best convey correct mathematical logic and strategy, ensuring a clear presentation of variables, equations, and methodologies needed.
