(1) 1mile=1760yards, so 10% of a mile is far larger than a yard.
(2) 1metre=1.1111yards so 90% of a yard is longer than 50% of
a metre.
(3) 10 girls lie inside the girls numbered 5 and 16, which implies
22 girls are standing in the circle.
(4) No, why would they date the coins in relation to what, B.C.?
unless they could tell the future, i don't think he did.

Is this your homework? Then are you asking us to do it for you instead of you actually doing it?
