    2. In rural Australia, rabbits can be a real problem. On Bazza’s farm, a rectangular

    total. How much would one dozen eggs have cost?

    5 times before they wash them again. If Joe’s dad wears his jeans

    7. There are usually about 80,000 internet searches each second. How many
    internet searches does that make in one hour?

    soccer. How many play soccer?

    9. Filling Jodie’s mum’s car with petrol from empty to full costs $40,
