Task 2
The River Thames has a wide variety of water-birds. An environmental group recorded the number of a range of water-birds at the Penton Hook area of the river.
|Type |Number |
|Swan |65 |
|Canada geese |21 |
|Great crested Grebe |15 |
|Mallard duck |30 |
|Graylag goose |3 |
|Coot |12 |
|Grey Heron |1 |
What proportion of the water-bird population recorded are swans? Give your answer as a percentage?
What is the ratio of Mallard ducks to Coots? Give your answer in its simplest form.
Task 3
The recommended maximum slope for an access ramp for wheelchairs is 1 in 12.
An example of a maximum slope for an access ramp is:
The new library has an entrance which is 80cms above ground level. Calculate the horizontal length of the access ramp that must be included as part of the entrance?
