by the way, what is rule of 3 and rule of 5 ???

[zorrillo]

Rule of 3:

A car travels 50 km in 30 mins. How many kms does it travel in 15 mins?

30 mins == 50 kms
15 mins == ?


Rule of 5:

3 machines print 25 pages in 40 secs. How many pages do 5 machines of the same type print in 20 secs?

3 machines == 40 sec == 25 pages
5 machines == 20 sec == ?

Easy. They are called so because of the number of terms involved; 3 and 5 resp.

thanks a lot for your nice tips and prepration tactics, i am one among those who are scared of numbers, whom maths is not the real problem but the fear of doing it is the problem.i did barrons zillions of times, finished evry math problem on test magic, completed maths review on pp. still dont feel free with maths.
