14) if there are 13 heads, if they were all children how many legs would there be?
26 (each child having two legs)
But there are 36 so that's 10 extra legs.
Because cats have two extra legs that's 5 cats.
13-5=8.

22).
What's the smallest/largest number that could be rounded to its nearest thousand? 500 or 1499
What's the smallest/largest number that, when rounded to the nearest 10, is 1000? 995 or 1004
The biggest "gap" between the numbers ie 1004-500 or 1499-995 both equal 504.

38)
I don't know if this is the best way but I would do it like this.
20cm on the side.
How many 5mm edges fit into that?
20cm = 200mm.
So 40 X 5mm fit into the 20cm.
40 edges x 40 edges = 1600.
