1. Physics: Speed, Distance and Time | 物理：速度、距离与时间
time. In this section we apply unit conversions and substitution to solve travel problems.
许多物理情景涉及匀速运动，可用关系式 距离 = 速度 × 时间 描述。本节我们运用单位换算和代入法解决行程问题。
Problem: A cyclist travels at a constant speed of 18 km/h. How far does she travel in 2 hours 40 minutes? On the return journey she faces a headwind and can only maintain 15 km/h. What is her average speed for the whole trip?
题目： 一位自行车骑手以 18 km/h 的恒定速度行驶。她在 2 小时 40 分钟内骑行了多远？回程时遇到逆风，只能保持 15 km/h 的速度。求她整个往返行程的平均速度。
t, convert 2 h 40 min to hours: 40 min = 40/60 h = 2/3 h, so total time = 2 + 2/3 = 8/3 h.
首先，将 2 小时 40 分钟转换为小时：40 分钟 = 40/60 小时 = 2/3 小时，因此总时间 = 2 + 2/3 = 8/3 小时。
Distance one way = speed × time = 18 km/h × (8/3) h = 18 × 8 ÷ 3 = 48 km.
单程距离 = 速度 × 时间 = 18 km/h × (8/3) h = 18 × 8 ÷ 3 = 48 km。
Return time = distance ÷ speed = 48 km ÷ 15 km/h = 3.2 h.
回程时间 = 距离 ÷ 速度 = 48 km ÷ 15 km/h = 3.2 小时。
al distance = 48 km × 2 = 96 km; total time = 8/3 h + 3.2 h = 2.666... + 3.2 = 5.866... h.
总距离 = 48 km × 2 = 96 km；总时间 = 8/3 h + 3.2 h = 2.666... + 3.2 = 5.866... 小时。
ce the average speed is not simply (18+15)/2 because more time is spent at the slower speed.
平均速度 = 总距离 ÷ 总时间 = 96 ÷ (88/15) ≈ 16.36 km/h。注意平均速度并不是简单的 (18+15)/2，因为更多时间花费在较低速度上。
2. Chemistry: Mixtures and Proportions | 化学：混合物与比例
When preparing solutions in a laboratory, scientists often dilute a stock solution with water. This involves understanding proportions and using algebraic methods to find unknown volumes.
在实验室配制溶液时，科学家常用水稀释储备液。这涉及理解比例并用代数方法求未知体积。
Problem: A chemistry lab needs 200 cm³ of a 15% saline solution. The available stock solution has a concentration of 25% salt. How much of the stock solution and how much distilled water must be mixed?
题目： 化学实验室需要 200 cm³ 浓度为 15% 的盐水溶液。现有的储备液浓度为 25%。需要混合多少储备液和多少蒸馏水？
Let x cm³ be the volume of 25% stock solution. Then the volume of water added is (200 − x) cm³.
设 x cm³ 为 25% 储备液的体积，则加入的蒸馏水体积为 (200 − x) cm³。
stock solution is 0.25x. The final solution must contain 0.15 × 200 = 30 cm³ of pure salt.
储备液中的纯盐量为 0.25x。最终溶液必须含有 0.15 × 200 = 30 cm³ 的纯盐。
Equation: 0.25x = 30 → x = 30 ÷ 0.25 = 120 cm³.
方程：0.25x = 30 → x = 30 ÷ 0.25 = 120 cm³。
Therefore, 120 cm³ of 25% stock solution and 80 cm³ of distilled water are needed. The proportion is 120:80 = 3:2.
因此，需要 120 cm³ 的 25% 储备液和 80 cm³ 的蒸馏水，比例为 120:80 = 3:2。
3. Biology: Population Ratios and Growth | 生物：种群比例与增长
Biologists use ratios to describe gender distributions and exponential models to project population growth under ideal conditions. These applications draw on ratio concepts and repeated multiplication.
生物学家使用比例描述性别分布，并运用指数模型预测理想条件下的种群增长。这些应用涉及比率概念和重复乘法。
Problem: In a wildlife survey, the ratio of male to female deer is 3:7. If 120 females are observed, how many males are present? Also, a bacterial colony doubles every 3 hours. Starting with 500 bacteria, how many are there after 15 hours?
题目： 在一次野生动物调查中，雄鹿与雌鹿的数量比为 3:7。如果观察到 120 只雌鹿，雄鹿有多少只？此外，一个细菌菌落每 3 小时数量翻倍。从 500 个细菌开始，15 小时后有多少个细菌？
3/7) × 120 = 360/7 ≈ 51.4. Since we expect integer animals, check the ratio: if females are 120, the multiplier is 120 ÷ 7 = 120/7. Males = 3 × (120/7) = 360/7. The problem might imply that the ratio is exact, so answer can be left as 51 3/7, but in practice we round to 51. Alternatively, treat the total parts: 3+7=10 parts, but number of individuals not given. With females = 120, each part = 120/7, males = 3×(120/7). Accept fractional answer in context.
关于鹿：比例 3:7 表示每 3 只雄鹿对应 7 只雌鹿。利用等效分数：雄鹿/雌鹿 = 3/7。雌鹿为 120 只，雄鹿 = (3/7) × 120 = 360/7 ≈ 51.4。由于动物数量应为整数，检查比例：若雌鹿 120，乘数为 120 ÷ 7 = 120/7。雄鹿 = 3 × (120/7) = 360/7。题目可接受分数答案，实际中可四舍五入为 51 只。
15 ÷ 3 = 5. The population multiplies by 2⁵ = 32. Final count = 500 × 32 = 16000 bacteria.
关于细菌：每 3 小时翻倍意味着 15 小时内包含 15 ÷ 3 = 5 个周期。种群数量乘以 2⁵ = 32。最终数量 = 500 × 32 = 16000 个细菌。
4. Geography: Map Scales and Real Distances | 地理：地图比例尺与实际距离
Maps use a representative fraction (scale) to relate distances on paper to actual ground distances. When calculating areas, the scale factor must be squared.
地图使用比例尺（分数比例）将图纸上的距离与实际地面距离联系起来。计算面积时，比例因子需要平方。
Problem: A map has a scale of 1:50,000. On the map, a rectangular nature reserve measures 4 cm by 5 cm. Calculate the actual perimeter in kilometres and the area in square kilometres.
题目： 一张地图的比例尺为 1:50,000。在该地图上，一个矩形自然保护区尺寸为 4 cm × 5 cm。计算实际的周长（以公里为单位）和面积（以平方公里为单位）。
le conversion: 1 cm on map represents 50,000 cm on the ground. 50,000 cm = 500 m = 0.5 km.
比例尺换算：地图上 1 cm 代表实地 50,000 cm。50,000 cm = 500 m = 0.5 km。
Actual length = 5 cm × 0.5 km/cm = 2.5 km. Actual width = 4 cm × 0.5 km/cm = 2 km.
实际长度 = 5 cm × 0.5 km/cm = 2.5 km。实际宽度 = 4 cm × 0.5 km/cm = 2 km。
Perimeter = 2 × (2.5 + 2) = 9 km.
周长 = 2 × (2.5 + 2) = 9 km。
presents (0.5 km)² = 0.25 km². Map area = 4 × 5 = 20 cm². Actual area = 20 × 0.25 = 5 km².
对于面积，注意 1 cm² 代表 (0.5 km)² = 0.25 km²。地图面积 = 4 × 5 = 20 cm²。实际面积 = 20 × 0.25 = 5 km²。
5. Economics: Simple and Compound Interest | 经济：单利与复利
ere amounts grow exponentially over time. Comparing the two helps in making saving decisions.
九年级的金融数学涵盖单利 I = PRT 和复利公式 A = P(1 + r)ᵗ，其中金额随时间呈指数增长。比较二者有助于做出储蓄决策。
Problem: You deposit $5,000 in a bank account that offers 4% per annum interest. Calculate the total amount after 3 years using (a) simple interest and (b) compound interest calculated yearly. How much extra interest is earned with compounding?
题目： 你在银行存入 $5,000，年利率为 4%。分别用 (a) 单利和 (b) 按年复利计算 3 年后的总金额。复利比单利多赚多少利息？
(a) Simple interest: I = 5000 × 0.04 × 3 = 600. Total = 5000 + 600 = $5,600.
(a) 单利：利息 = 5000 × 0.04 × 3 = 600。总额 = 5000 + 600 = $5,600。
nterest: A = 5000 × (1 + 0.04)³ = 5000 × 1.04³. 1.04³ = 1.124864, so A ≈ 5000 × 1.124864 = $5,624.32.
(b) 复利：A = 5000 × (1 + 0.04)³ = 5000 × 1.04³。1.04³ = 1.124864，因此 A ≈ 5000 × 1.124864 = $5,624.32。
Difference in interest = 5624.32 − 5600 = $ mpound interest yields more because interest is earned on previously accumulated interest.
利息差额 = 5624.32 − 5600 = $24.32。复利收益更高，因为利息可以生息。
6. Computer Science: Binary Numbers and Logic | 计算机科学：二进制与逻辑
Digital systems represent data using binary digits (bits). Conversions between binary and denary, along with simple Boolean logic, form a bridge between mathematics and computer science.
数字系统使用二进制位表示数据。二进制与十进制之间的转换以及简单的布尔逻辑，构成了数学与计算机科学之间的桥梁。
Problem: omplete the truth table for all four input combinations and state the output in each case.
题目： 将二进制数 101101₂ 转换为十进制。接着，一个安全警报有两个传感器 A 和 B。仅当 A = 1 且 B = 0 时警报响起（输出 1）。完成四种输入组合的真值表，并写出每种情况下的输出。
o denary: 101101₂ = 1×2⁵ + 0×2⁴ + 1×2³ + 1×2² + 0×2¹ + 1×2⁰ = 32 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 45.
二进制转十进制：101101₂ = 1×2⁵ + 0×2⁴ + 1×2³ + 1×2² + 0×2¹ + 1×2⁰ = 32 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 45。
Truth table:
| A | B | A AND (NOT B) | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 AND 1 = 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 AND 0 = 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 AND 1 = 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 AND 0 = 0 | 0 |
The alarm sounds only when A is high and B is low, implementing the logical condition A ∧ ¬B.
警报仅在 A 为高电平且 B 为低电平时响起，实现了逻辑条件 A ∧ ¬B。
7. Design & Technology: Area and Volume of Composite Shapes | 设计技术：组合图形的面积与体积
Engineers and designers frequently calculate volumes of objects made from basic solids such as cylinders, spheres and prisms. This section combines geometry with practical measurement.
工程师和设计师经常需要计算由基本立体（如圆柱体、球体和棱柱）组合而成的物体的体积。本节将几何与实际测量相结合。
Problem: lculate the total volume of the block, using π ≈ 3.14. Give the answer to the nearest cm³.
题目： 一个装饰性木块由一个圆柱体（半径 3 cm，高 5 cm）和一个相同半径的半球体叠放在顶部组成。计算该木块的总体积，使用 π ≈ 3.14，答案四舍五入到最接近的 cm³。
Volume of cylinder = πr²h = 3.14 × 3² × 5 = 3.14 × 9 × 5 = 3.14 × 45 = 141.3 cm³.
圆柱体积 = πr²h = 3.14 × 3² × 5 = 3.14 × 9 × 5 = 3.14 × 45 = 141.3 cm³。
Volume of hemisphere = (2/3)πr³ = (2/3) × 3.14 × 27 = 2 × 3.14 × 9 = 6.28 × 9 = 56.52 cm³.
半球体积 = (2/3)πr³ = (2/3) × 3.14 × 27 = 2 × 3.14 × 9 = 6.28 × 9 = 56.52 cm³。
Total volume = 141.3 + 56.52 = 197.82 cm³ ≈ 198 cm³.
总体积 = 141.3 + 56.52 = 197.82 cm³ ≈ 198 cm³。
8. Environmental Science: Carbon Footprints and Percentages | 环境科学：碳足迹与百分比
Environmentally themed problems use percentages to track reductions. Successive percentage changes require careful step-by-step reasoning, not simply adding the percentages.
环境主题的问题利用百分比跟踪减排情况。连续百分比变化需要仔细逐步推理，不能简单地将百分比相加。
Problem: A household's monthly carbon footprint is 850 kg CO₂. They first reduce it by 15% through car-sharing and recycling. In the following month, they cut the new footprint by a further 10% by switching to renewable electricity. What is the final monthly footprint? What is the overall percentage reduction from the original?
题目： 一个家庭的月碳足迹为 850 kg CO₂。他们首先通过拼车和回收将足迹减少 15%。接下来一个月，他们通过改用可再生电力在新足迹的基础上再减少 10%。最终的月碳足迹是多少？相对于原始值，总体减少了百分之多少？
After first reduction: 850 × (1 − 0.15) = 850 × 0.85 = 722.5 kg.
第一次减少后：850 × (1 − 0.15) = 850 × 0.85 = 722.5 kg。
After second reduction: 722.5 × (1 − 0.10) = 722.5 × 0.90 = 650.25 kg.
第二次减少后：722.5 × (1 − 0.10) = 722.5 × 0.90 = 650.25 kg。
Overall reduction = (850 − 650.25) / 850 × 100% = (199.75 / 850) × 100% ≈ 23.5%. Notice this is not 25%, because the second reduction applies to a smaller base.
总体减少百分比 = (850 − 650.25) / 850 × 100% = (199.75 / 850) × 100% ≈ 23.5%。注意这并不是 25%，因为第二次减少应用于较小的基数。
