Helen and Jomarie started off from the same place and drove at uniform speeds in the same direction round a 40-km circular racing track. Helen completed each round in 40 minutes. Jomarie took 50 minutes to complete each round.
How far would Jomarie be behind Helen after 1 hour?
How long after they started would it take Helen to meet Jomarie for the first time?
Level 3 A tank with a base measuring 60 cm by 10 cm had two leaks at 400 cm3 per minute and 300 cm3 per minute respectively. If the water level was 15 cm originally, what would be the height of water in the tank after 6 minutes?
Level 3
A cylindrical dispenser of capacity 5.7 ℓ was filled with apple juice to its brim. The milk in the dispenser was then dispensed into a cubical container of sides 18 cm, through a tap flowing at a rate of 200 mℓ/min. After 15 min, the tap was turned off and the container was 23 full.
What percentage of the milk in the cylindrical dispenser was left? Round off your answer to the nearest 2 decimal places.
How many litres of milk were there in the container at first? (1 ℓ = 1000 cm3)
Level 3
An empty tank measures 50 cm by 20 cm by 35 cm. 3 wooden cubes each of edge 10 cm, are placed in the tank. The tank is then filled with water flowing from a tap at a rate of 8 ℓ per minute.
How long will it take to fill up the tank? Express your answer in min.
What will be the depth of the water in the tank after 2 wooden cubes are removed?

Level 3
A car uses 9 litres of petrol for every 50 km it travels at an average driving speed is 80 km/h. It uses 6 litres of petrol for every 70 km it travels when it average driving speed is 60 km/h. How much petrol will the car consume use for a journey which lasts 12 h if it travels at 80 km/h for 5 h and 60 km/h for the rest of the journey?
Level 3
A pool measuring 50 m x 25 m x 2 m was completely filled with water. The water was draining out of the tank at a constant rate and became completely empty after 25 minutes.
What fraction of the pool was filled with water at the end of 24 minutes? Express the answer in the simplest form.
How many litres of water was drained out of the pool at the end of 10 minutes?
Level 3
A rectangular container 100 cm by 50 cm by 45 cm was 20% filled with water. A tap was turned on to fill it up with water at a rate of 9 ℓ /min. Every 30 seconds after the tap was turned on, an iron ball of volume 500 cm3 was added to the container. How many iron balls of the same volume would there be in the container when the container is 100% filled with water?
Level 3
This figure is not drawn to scale. A rectangular glass tank 72 cm by 50 cm by 35 cm has 2 compartments, X and Y, with a water height of 30 cm in X and 15 cm in Y. A hole in the slider caused water to leak from X to Y. It was found that the water level in both compartments became the same after some time.
What is the height of water in the tank now?
It took 112 h for the water in both compartments to reach the same level. Assuming that water leaked at a constant rate, how much water flowed from X to Y in 1 minute? Express the answer to 1 decimal place in cm³.

Nick placed three empty containers side by side. The smallest container has a crack at the bottom of its side and the base area of each container is 18 cm2. After he turned on the faucet for 68 minutes, the height of the water in the smallest container became 8 cm although 0.8 mℓ of water is leaking out of the crack per minute. Find the rate of flow of water from the faucet. Give the answer in mℓ/min.

Level 3 PSLE
The photocopying rates of two machines A and B are as shown. Both machines were use to make a copy of a set of notes which had been divided into teacher set and student set. Machine A took 7 minutes is to photocopy teacher set and Machine B took 9 minutes to photocopy student set.
How many pages were there altogether in the set of notes?
Another copy of the same set of notes was made using Machine B only. How many minutes did Machine B take?
