Question 2

Use a hundred square to help you with this question.

A prison has 100 cells numbered 1 to 100. It

also has 100 guards numbered 1 to 100.
During the day the doors of the cells are
unlocked. In the evening guard number 1
goes round the prison and locks each cell
door.
Guard number 2 then goes round the prison
and stops at every door which is a multiple
of 2. If the door is unlocked he locks it, if the
door is locked he unlocks it.
Guard number 3 then goes round the prison and stops
at every door which is a multiple of 3. If the door is
unlocked he locks it, if the door is locked he unlocks
it. This continues until all 100 guards have been round
the prison.
Which doors end up locked and why?

Question 5

You should use a calculator for this question.

Use the method of inverse operations to work out the missing numbers in the
following calculations:
(a) . . . . . . + 487 = 8935 (b) . . . . . . - 4946 = 3584
(c) . . . . . . × 763 = 375 396 (d) . . . . . . ÷ 398 = 547
(e) . . . . . . + 1659 + 7664 = 75 684 (f) . . . . . . - 7563 - 8904 = 7497
