Grade 6 Mathematics - Fall 2024

Instructor: Quan Nguyen Date: March 12 2024


Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Problem set: 18

List of problems:

Problem 1. When a positive integer is divided by a positive integer divisor, the remainder is 26.
When the same positive integer is doubled and then is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is
7. What is the value of the divisor?

Problem 2. Fill in each of the fifteen circles with the numbers from 1 to 15, where each number can
be used exactly once, so that the sums of all the numbers on each side of the pentagon are all equal.
Let S be the greatest possible sum of each side and T be the least possible sum of each side. What
is the value of S + T ?

Problem 3. In a Mathematics contest, the scores of 10 students, which are all positive integers, are
shown in the table below, except for Grace’s score.

The committee remembers that the difference between the average of the six highest scores and the
average of the six lowest scores is 12. What is the sum of all the possible scores of Grace?

Problem 4. (IMC) How many rectangles are there in the figure below?

Problem 5. A pirate has buried his treasure chest under a beach, and he drew a map of the beach in
the form of a grid where each section is numbered from 1 to 49 as shown in the diagram below:

The shape of his treasure chest is made up of squares like those shown in the choices below which
are aligned perfectly with the grid above when buried. To find his way back to the treasure, he made
a note of the sum of all the grid numbers that sit above the chest once buried. If the sum is 86, which
of the following is a possible shape for the chest?

Problem 6. Eric and Jasmine both determine the color of the clothes to wear according to the date
of the day. Eric will divide the date by 8 and wear red clothes if the remainder is 0, 2, 4 or 6 and
yellow clothes if otherwise. Jasmine will divide the date by 6 and wear yellow clothes if the remain-
der is 0 or 3, green clothes if the remainder is 1 or 4 and blue clothes if the remainder is 2 or 5.
For example, since 27 leaves a remainder of 3 when divided both 8 and 6, both Eric and Jasmine
will wear yellow clothes on 27th of January. For how many days in 2022 will Eric and Jasmine wear
clothes of different colors? [Note: there are 365 days in 2022].

Problem 7. (IMC) Three two-digit numbers are such that the sum of any two is formed of the same
digits as the third number but in reverse order. Find the sum of all three numbers.

Problem 8. (IMC) In how many ways can 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 be arranged in a row so that the differ-
ence between any two adjacent numbers is not equal to 3?

Problem 9. In the diagram, the middle square on the top row of a 4 × 5 rectangle is shaded. How
many rectangles can be formed using some of the 20 unit squares, which contain the shaded square?

Problem 10. A cat is trying to climb a staircase of 10 steps. Each turn, it can only jump 1,2 or 3
steps ahead. In how many ways can it reach the top of the staircase?

Problem 11. (IMC) How many seven-digit numbers are there in which every digit is ‘2’ or ‘3’, and
no two ‘3’s are adjacent?

Problem 12. (IMC) Sebs starts with an 11 × 38 grid of white squares and colors some of them
black. In each white square, Sebs writes down the number of black squares that share an edge with
it. Determine the maximum sum of the numbers that Sebs could write down.

Problem 13. In the diagram below, a square of 900cm2 is divided by horizontal and vertical stripes.
All white parts are either large squares or small squares. It is known that the total area of small white
squares and the total area of large white squares are in the ratio of 1 : 4. Find the total area, in cm2 ,
of the black region.

Problem 14. (IMC) In a competition, every student from school A and from school B is a gold
medalist, a silver medalist or a bronze medalist. The number of gold medalist from each school is
the same. The ratio of the percentage of students who are gold medalist from school A to that from
school B is 5 : 6. The ratio of the number of silver medalists from school A to that from school B
is 9 : 2. The percentage of students who are silver medalists from both school is 20%. If 50% of
the students from school A are bronze medalists, what percentage of the students from school B are
gold medalists?

Problem 15. How many different arrangements are there to cover the 3×10 rectangle using ten 3×1
rectangles without overlapping? Note: Each 3 × 1 rectangle can be placed horizontally or vertically.

Problem 16. Eight pupils from Victory Primary School take a Mathematics test, but none of the
pupils wrote his/her name on the test. The tests are therefore handed back to the pupils at random.
In how many ways can exactly 5 of the 8 pupils get the correct test back?

Problem 17. There are 9 students. Each student has his own number tag from No.1 to No.9. How
many ways can these students be arranged in a row so that when we consider each student, one of
the following conditions must hold?

• the number tags of all students in front of him must be less than him.

• the number tags of all students in front of him must be greater than him.

Problem 18. Six cards numbered 1 through 6 are to be lined up in a row. Find the number of ar-
rangements of these six cards where one of the cards can be removed leaving the remaining five
cards in either ascending or descending order.
