Let D be the diameter of the big wheel (back

wheel).
Let d be the diameter of the small wheel (front
wheel).
According to the question information,
D = 3/2 × d.

When the car travels 1 m, the big wheel makes

6 turns. Therefore, 6 × the circumference of
the big wheel = 1
Circumference of the big wheel is πD,
therefore the equation can be presented as:
6 × πD = 1….(Equation 1).

4 C Measurement Medium
Let x be the number of turns the small wheel
makes when the car travels 1m.
Using the same logic, we can form the
equation x × πd = 1…. (Equation 2)

If the number is to be divisible by 3 and by 4, it
has to be divisible by 12. The first number that
is divisible by 12 between 300 and 400 is 312.
Then continue to add 12 to get the next

Therefore, the numbers are 312, 324, 336,
348, 360, 372, 384, 396.
There are 8 numbers.

 This question relies on looking for a pattern.
333444 = (3 × 111)444 = 3444 × 111444
Let’s look at powers of 111 and try to find a
pattern:
1111 = 111
1112 = 12321
1113 = 1367631
It is clear that the last digit of 111 to the power
of 444 is 1.
For powers of 3 there is a different pattern:
31 = 3
32 = 9 Number and
8 A Hard
33 = 27 Arithmetic
34 = 81
35 = 243
36 = 729
37 = 2187
38 = 6561
From this pattern every 4th power of 3 results in
a number with the digit 1 in the units place.
Since 444 is a multiple of 4, then 3444 will end
in 1. If we multiply this number by 111444
(which also ends with the digit 1), the result
will also end with 1.
