The Amazing race- Friday


Friday:            The Final Destination.

1.      Two thirds of Australia is desert land which Aussies the 'outback'. What fraction is not desert land?

 

2.      In six trees you count 24 koalas. How many koalas are in each tree if there is an equal amount in each tree?

 

3.      Half of the koalas are eating eucalyptus leaves. What fraction of koalas are not eating?

 

4.      On average a koala sleeps for 18 hours a day, how many hours is it awake?

 

 

5.      A kangaroo bounces past.  It hops once every 5 seconds.  How many hops would it make in one minute?

 

You find another clue hidden in a eucalyptus tree and you snatch it away before a koala can munch it to pieces. The clue reads…

Return to New Zealand!

 

New Zealand has a population of approximately 4 million. Australia has a population of approximately 22 million.

7.      How many more people live in Australia?

 

8.      You race to the Sky Tower in Auckland.  It is 328 metres tall!

          Which number is larger:

          1103 or 328?

 

9.      How many hundreds are in 1103?

 

10.    One hundred steps before you reach the top you need a rest.
