Can you answer the three questions? Be honest and do the "test" before looking at the link.

1. A bat and a ball cost £1.10 in total. The bat costs £1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
2. If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?
3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

OK togo try did

an object costs in old money 1/6 and one of the coins is not a sixpence.
what are the coins ?

[Sqad]

The other two coins are a shilling piece and 2 threepence bits.

[dannyk13]

Could also be 1 shilling & 6 pennies

[Sqad]

danny...it could. What we need is the total number of coins in the question.

[donny48]

And that's without involving half-pennies.

[Mamyalynne]

One shilling and one sixpence - one is not a sixpence, the other is.
