3. Anna is a vet. Every morning she gets the bus into
work. She starts work at 9:00. There are 3 busses
that Anna can take to work.
• The first bus starts running at 7:00 and comes
every 30 minutes, it takes an hour to get from
Anna's house to work.
• The second bus comes every 20 minutes and
starts at 6:30. It takes 25 minutes to get to work.
• The third bus takes 30 minutes and comes every
10 minutes starting at 8:15.
• One morning Anna sleeps until 7:50. How many
busses are there that will get Anna to work on
time.
4. • If it takes Anna half an hour to get ready for
work before catching the bus, how many of
these busses will she have missed?
5. When Anna starts work there are the people sitting
in the waiting room, Mary, Suzie and Michael.
Their dogs are sitting in front of them. (There is one
Dalmatian, one Yorkshire terrier and a Labrador)

Mary's dog has fleas
Suzie prefers big dogs
Lady is not sitting next to Buddy
Buddy is a dalmation
The Yorkshire Terrier has not injured it's paw
The dog on Suzie's right (when looking at the
waiting room) is the smallest dog
Can you figure out what type of dog each customer has,
what is it’s name and what is wrong with it?
7. As part of her job, Anna goes to local farms
to check on the animals. Today she must
visit a big farm with many different animals.
•
•
•
•
•
At the farm there are 85 animals.
The number of pigs is 4 times the number of horses
There are more chickens than all the other animals added together
The smallest number of animals in one group is 2
There is one more pig than
there are cows
• The number of cows added to the
number of goats is half the number of sheep
• The number of sheep plus the number of pigs
plus the number of horses is equal to
the number more chickens there are than sheep.
• There are twenty sheep.
8. Answers
• There are 8 busses that will get Anna to work
on time.
• If she spends 30 minutes getting ready, she
misses 6 of these!
