1. **Problem 1:** Beth walks 4 km to the station at 6 km/h and wants to catch the 0924 bus. Find the latest time she can leave home.
2. Calculate the time taken to walk 4 km at 6 km/h:
$$\text{time} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ hours} = 40 \text{ minutes}$$
3. Since the bus leaves at 09:24, Beth must arrive at the station by 09:24.
4. Subtract walking time from bus departure time:
$$09:24 - 00:40 = 08:44$$
5. **Answer:** Beth must leave home by 08:44 at the latest.
6. **Problem 2:** 45 seats are occupied, which is $\frac{5}{3}$ of the total seats. Find the total number of seats.
7. Let total seats be $x$. Then:
$$45 = \frac{5}{3} x$$
8. Solve for $x$:
$$x = 45 \times \frac{3}{5} = 27$$
9. **Answer:** The bus has 27 seats in total.
10. **Problem 3:** Beth buys 2.4 kg onions at 1.25 per kg and 4.5 kg potatoes. Total cost is 11.64. Find cost per kg of potatoes.
11. Calculate cost of onions:
$$2.4 \times 1.25 = 3.00$$
12. Let cost per kg of potatoes be $p$. Then:
$$3.00 + 4.5p = 11.64$$
13. Solve for $p$:
$$4.5p = 11.64 - 3.00 = 8.64$$
$$p = \frac{8.64}{4.5} = 1.92$$
14. **Answer:** Cost per kg of potatoes is 1.92.
