SatsMuncher 7: The Miles, Metres and Minutes Challenge Any Problems?  Remember, you can Ask an Expert You have organised a day trip to Paris, France.   Unsurprisingly, there are a number of problems to solve along the way ...

Q1.  TO THE AIRPORT! You go to Birmingham airport by taxi.  The taxi meter is counting the number of minutes. It takes one and a half hours.  How many minutes is this?   Q2.  PASSPORT CONTROL You show your passport.  Your passport photo is 40mm long.  How many centimetres is this? Q3.  TAKE OFF! Your plane has taken off.  The journey starts at 7:45 am and lasts for 2 1/4 hours.  At what time do you land?

Q4.  THE FLIGHT ... You're skimming the clouds and the food trolley is on the way.  Fantastic - the only black cloud on the horizon is your leg space - there's just not enough.  You check it with your handy pocket-size measuring tape.  You find that you have only 40 cm of leg space.  How much is this in metres?   Q5.  PLANE TO TRAIN You're in Paris!  Only one short train ride and you'll arrive at your hotel. You board the train at 11:20 am. The train is slow and takes one hour and twenty five minutes.  At what time do you arrive at Le Royale?  Q6.  TIME TO RELAX After all the travelling, you decide to have a long hot bath.  You find that the sumptuous bath is 6 feet long.  About how many metres is that? Q7.  THE EIFFEL TOWER Number one on your list of 'Things to See' is the Eiffel Tower.   The scale on your map is 1 cm to 5 km.  On the map, the Tower is 6 cm from your hotel.  What is the actual distance?   Q8.  THE QUEUE There's a massive queue for the Eiffel Tower!  You have lots of time on your hands so you start counting:  The ratio of men to women in the queue is 5:4.  There are 12 women.  How many men are there?

Q9.  THE MONEY EXCHANGE You've run out of Euros so you go to change some more pounds at the bank.  You get 7 Euros for £5.  How many Euros would you get for £100? Q10.  A BIT OF A SQUASH You decide to end the day in a fabulous cafe.  You order a three course meal (in perfect French) and now you need a long drink of orange squash - but the squash dispensor is empty. The waitor fills it up.  He mixes 2 parts juice to 8 parts water.  How much juice and water does he need to make 20 litres of squash?
