There are seven houses each containing seven cats.Each cat kills seven mice and each mouse would have eaten seven ears of spelt.Each ear of spelt would have produced seven hekats of grain.What is the total of all these?
What number must be added to 100 and 20 (the same number to each) so that the sums are in the ratio 3:1? |

A carpenter agrees to work on the condition that he is paid £2 for every day he works,while he forfeits £3 every day that he does not work.At the end of thirty days he finds he has paid out exactly as much as he received.How many days did he work?
