5. In the country of East Westmore, statisticians estimate there is a baby born every 8 hours and a death every day. To the nearest hundred, how many people are added to the population of East Westmore each year?

Explanation

In East Westmore, there is a baby born every 8 hours, which means there are 3 babies born per day. Additionally, there is a death every day. Therefore, the net population increase per day is 3 - 1 = 2 people. To find the number of people added to the population each year, we multiply the net daily increase by the number of days in a year. Since there are 365 days in a year, the total number of people added to the population each year is 2 * 365 = 730. Rounding this to the nearest hundred gives us 700, which is the correct answer.

39. After visiting Spain the tourist had decided to enlarge the photograph of the Sagrada Familia.  The original is 7.5 cm by 6.5 cm. If the enlargement of the longest side is 18 cm, what is the length of the smaller side?

Explanation

The main course cost €8. This can be determined by setting up a system of equations based on the given information. Let's assume the cost of the starter is x.
