Answer 1

Dear Student
Thank you for using homeworklib
3)
Total Number beds in pedametric unit	=	165
No. of beds in 1 room	=	3
Total number of rooms	=	165/3
	=	55	rooms
	Option d
4)
Five less than a number is greater than 20
Let the number be x
5 less than a number	=	x-5
Since the result of 5 less than the number is > 20
=> x - 5 > 20
	Option a)
5)
Length of a standard bed pillow
It cannot be 0.5 km i.e. 500 m	Too large
It cannot be 5m	Again too large
It cannot be 5cm	Too small a size for bed pillow
Hence it should be 0.5 m i.e 50 cm
	Option b
