Answer to ‘The Slow Horse Race’ Page 25

1. The wise old man asked the boys to EXCHANGE horses. Remember, the king said the prince whose HORSE
comes last would be the winner. By riding the other’s horse, each prince would want to be first, so that his
horse could come last!

Answers to ‘How Did They Do It’ Page 31

1. 1 mile is longer. To walk one mile, you must walk one kilometre, then a little more than half a kilometre!
2. 4 times louder.
3. 216 volts. 650 volts divided by 3. Our homes usually have 220 volts.

Answer to ‘Tree Time’ Page 45

1. Look out for the shadow of the tree. Drive a small stick into the floor and measure the
shadow of the stick. Also, measure the height of the stake above the ground. Now measure
the length of the tree’s shadow.

Compare your measurements. If the shadow of the stick is double its height, then
the shadow of the tree is double the height of the tree!

54/55

If the shadow measures 20 m, the tree is 10 m tall. On the other hand, if the shadow of the stick
is half the size of the stick, then the shadow of the tree will be half the size of the tree.

If the shadow of the tree measures 5m, the tree measures 10m.
