  ### There are 40 students in a classroom, 9/20 of them are boys and 4/5 of them are right-handed. How many right-handed boys are there in the classroom?
  
  Solution:
  
  Given that there are 18 boys (9/20*40=18) and 22 girls in the class. Also we know that out of 40 students 32 are right-handed (4/5*40=32).
  
  Maximum number of right-handed boys possible is if ALL 18 boys are right-handed;
  Minimum number of right-handed boys possible is if ALL 22 girls are right-handed, so in this case 32-22=10 boys would be right-handed.
  
  QUESTION: 4
  
  In Jonathan’s pen there are 300 sheep’s. 5/6 of the sheep’s are white, 2/3 of the sheep’s have soft wool. What can’t be the number of white sheep’s that also have soft wool in the pen?​
  
  Solution:
  
  There are (5/6 x 300 = 250) white sheep’s.
  There are (2/3 x 300 = 200) soft woolen sheep’s.
  The maximum overlap is the size of the smallest among the groups, thus 200. The minimum overlap is (250 + 200 – 300 = 150).
  Therefore the number of sheep’s can be somewhere between 150 and 200.
  
  QUESTION: 5
  
  Ross has 40 shirts, ¾ of the shirts are green and 1/10 is without buttons.
  
  Therefore Ross has between ___ and ___ shirts with buttons that are not green.

  Notice that the groups that we are looking for a overlapping are the not-green shirts and the buttoned ones. The not-green shirts are a quarter of 40, 10 shirts.
  The shirts with buttons are (9/10 x 40 = 36).
  The maximum overlapping is the size of the smallest group: 10.
  The minimum overlapping is: 36 + 10 – 40 = 6.
  
  QUESTION: 6
  
  In the Kan film festival, 50 movies were presented. 3/5 of the movies are action movies and 4/5 is science fiction movies. How many of the movies were science fiction action movies?
  
  Solution:
  
  There were (3/5 x 50 = 30) action movies.
  There were (4/5 x 50 = 40) science fiction movies.
  Exact overlapping is calculated by minimum overlapping method.
  Therefore there are (40 + 30 – 50 = 20) movies that belong to both categories.
  
  QUESTION: 7
  
  There are 200 cats in Cat-City. Out of the 200, 70 are street cats and the rest are domestic cats. 110 cats are gray, 30 out of the gray cats are street ones. How many domestic cats are there which are not gray in Cat-City?
  
  Solution:
  
  Out of 200 cats, 130 are domestic ones. Out of 110 gray cats, 30 are street cats therefore 80 are grey and domestic ones.
  Altogether there are 130 domestic cats, 80 are grey so (130 – 80) = 50 are not grey.

  Solution:
  
  First, draw the axis system and mark the 4 points. Connect the points to get a parallelogram. The area is calculated by the multiplication of one on of the bases and the height. The height is (7 – 3 = 4), the length of the base is (9 – 2 = 7).
  The area is 4 x 7 = 28.

  If the radius of a cylinder is doubled and so is the height, what is the new volume of the cylinder divided by the old one?
  
  Solution:
  
  The volume of a cylinder is (pie x R2) x (height of cylinder).
  The new volume is (4 x 2 = 8) bigger.
  
  QUESTION: 23
  
  If the radius of a cylinder is doubled and so is the height, how much bigger is the new lateral surface area (with out the bases)?
  
  Solution:
  
  The lateral surface area of a cylinder is (2 x pie x R) x (height of cylinder).
  The new lateral surface area is (2 x pie x 2R) x (double the height) = 4 times bigger.
