_____________________________________

Question 4

Convert the mixed number to improper fraction (in quarters)



10/4 = 10 quarters
Ans (1) - 10

-----------------------------------------------

Question 5

Ans (2) 4 351 000

-------------------------------------------------

Question 6

Perimeter = outline = sum of the 3 sides

Step 1 : Find length AB (H)

Area of triangle = 1/2 x B x H
96 = 1/2 x 16 x H
96 = 8 x H
H = 96 ÷ 8 = 12


Step 2 : Find the perimeter

Perimeter = 16 + 20 + 12 = 48 cm

Ans (3)

------------------------------------------------------

Question 7

(Draw the trees - to visualise the number of intervals)


Distance bet 1st and 4th tree = 3 units

3 units => 24 m
1 unit => 24 ÷ 3 = 8 m


Distance between 1st and 10th tree = 9 intervals = 9 units

9 units => 9 x 8 = 72 m

Ans (1)

------------------------------------

Question 8

Ans (2)

----------------------------------------------

Question 9

Ahmad 7 units

Benny 3 units

Total - 10 units -> 30 years
1 unit -> 30 ÷ 10 years = 3 years
7 units -> 3 x 7 = 21 years old

Ans (4)


---------------------------------------------

Question 10

Area of BCD = 1/2 x B x H

= 1/2 x BC x AD

= 1/2 x 5 x 5

= 12.5

Ans (1)

---------------------------------------------

Question 11

2 eggs --> 80 g of flour

1 egg --> 80g ÷ 2 = 40g of flour

7 eggs --> 40g x 7 = 280 g of flour

Ans (3)

---------------------------------------------------

Question 12

(8m + 3 - 3m) ÷ 3

= (8m - 3m + 3) ÷ 3

= (5m +3) ÷ 3

= (5m+3)

3

Ans (3)

--------------------------------------------------------

Question 13

Step 1 : Find the height (Line AB) of triangle AXC

Area of ABC = 1/2 x B x H

80 = 1/2 x BC x AB

80 = 1/2 x (9+7) x AB

80 = 1/2 x 16 x AB

80 = 8 x AB

AB = 80 ÷ 8

= 10cm

Step 2 : Find the area of triangle AXC

Area of AXC = 1/2 x B x H

= 1/2 x (XC) x (AB)

= 1/2 x 9 x 10

= 1/2 x 90

= 45

Ans (3)

------------------------------------------------

Question 15

James 6 units

Son 1 unit

Daughter => 1 unit - 2 years

Solution :

James : 6 units --> b years old

Son : 1 unit --> b ÷ 6 = b/6 years old

Daughter : 1 unit - 2 years = b/6 - 2

Ans (3)

--------------------------------------------------------

Question 16

8w + 10 + 2 w - 7

= 8w + 2w + 10 - 7

= 10w + 10 - 7

= 10w +3

---------------------------------------------

Question 17

3y + 21 - 6y (y = 7)

= 3 x y + 21 - 6 x y

= 3 x 7 + 21 - 6 x 7

= 21 + 21 - 42

= 42 - 42

= 0

---------------------------------------------

Question 18

6 + 2 = 8

Ans : 8 faces

----------------------------------------------

Question 19

30 + 7 x 20 - 200 ÷ 5

= 30 + 140 - 40

= 170 - 140

= 130

----------------------------------------

Question 20

Two digit number = AB (less than 70)

Sum of my digits = A + B = 9

Divisible by 7 --> means the number is a multiple of 7

56 5 + 6 = 11 (not the ans)

63 6 + 3 = 9 (YES ! meet all conditions)

Ans: The number is 63.

------------------------------------------------------

Question 21

From the diagram,

12 units (interval) => 1.2m = 120cm

1 unit => 120 ÷ 12 = 10cm

Shaded rectangle : 7 units => 10 x 7 = 70 cm

Ans : 70 cm

---------------------------------------------------

Question 22

(Note : qn require you to answer in litre)

Convert 750ml to litre

750ml = 0.750 litre

Volume of the drink = 750ml + 1.5 litre

= 0.75 +1.5 litre

= 2.25 litre.

Ans : 2.25 litre

------------------------------------------------

Question 23

(Make sure that the units are the same)

Ratio : 60 cents : $10.20

= 60 cents : 1020 cents

= 60 : 1020

= 6 : 102

= 1 : 17

-----------------------------------------------

Question 24

Total units to make the paint (2Litres) = 5 + 3 + 2 = 10 units

10 units ==> 2 litres

1 unit ==> 2 ÷ 10 = 0.2 litres

5 units (Blue) ==> 0.2 x 5 litres = 1 litre

Ans : 1 litre

-------------------------------------------------------

Question 25

Joe has 3/4 as many stickers as David :

Joe 3 units

David 4 units

Joe gave 1/2 to David : Joe have 3 units, we have to change it to 6 units so that we can divide total into 2 easily.

New ratio:

Joe 6 units

David 8 units

After :

Joe 6 x 1/2 = 3 units (left 1/2)

David 8 units + 3 units (from Joe) = 11 units

Joe : David

Ans - 3 : 11


---------------------------------------------------

Question 26

Cheryl has 250 stamps.
1 album can contain 184 stamps.
2 albums can contain 184 x 2 = 368 stamps

Extra stamps to fill up 2 albums = 368 - 250 = 118 stamps

-----------------------------------------------------
Question 27

Danny - > 48 kg
Brother -> 48 + 14 = 62 kg
Total -> 62 + 48 = 110 kg

Average mass = total ÷ 2
= 110 ÷ 2
= 55 kg

---------------------------------------------------

Question 28

Toy car - $ b
Doll - $ c more than car --> $ c + b

Items

4 Toy Car : b + b + b + b
2 dools : c + b + c + b = 2 c + 2 b

Total : 4 b + 2c + 2b
= 4b + 2b + 2c
= 6b + 2 c

Ans : $ (6b + 2c)

----------------------------------------------------

Question 29

Total ribbon Linda has = 5 metres

1 present -> 3x metres
2 presnts -> 3x x 2 = 6x metres

Amount left : Total - used = ( 5 - 6x ) m

------------------------------------------------------

Question 30

Red 1 unit

Blue 4 units
-----------------------------------
Blue 1 part ----> 1 x 4 = 4 units

Green 3 parts -----> 3 x 4 = 12 units


(Task : Make the no. of units for Blue pens to be the same)
-- common no is 4 : refer to the red working above)


Red : Total

1 : (1 + 4 + 12)

1 : 17

-------------------------------------------------------

Question 31

Top : Triangle : 3 equal sides = 3 equal pieces of wire

Bottom : Same as top = 3 equal pieces of wire

Side : 3 edges = 3 equal pieces of wire

Total pieces of wire needed = 3 + 3+ 3 = 9

Each piece (1 edge) = 6cm

9 pieces = 6 x 9 cm = 54 cm

Ans : 54 cm

---------------------------------------------------

Question 32

47.48 = 40 + 7 + ?/25

47.48 = 40 + 7 + 0.48

From the above two,

0.48 = ?/ 25

48/100 = ? / 25

48/100 = 12 / 25

Hence ? = 12
-----------------------------------------------------

Question 33

Average = 0.25 litre (each guest) = 1/4 litre

34 guests => 34 x 0.25 litre = 34 x 1/4 = 17/2 = 8.5 litre

Left = Total - used = 15 - 8.5 = 6.5 litre.

-------------------------------------------------------

Question 34

Fiona 7 units
Gena 6 units
Helen 15 units

Gena has less than Helen => lesser by 15 - 6 = 9 units

9 units = $72

1 unit = $72 ÷ 9 = $8

Fiona (7 units) => $8 x 7 = $56

---------------------------

Question 35

Lucy : 16 units

Mary : 5 units

Tota : 16 + 5 = 21 units

Sum (21 units) ==> 63 years

1 unit ==> 63 ÷ 21 = 3 years

Mary (5 units) ==> 3 x 5 = 15 years old (NOW)

In 15 years' time ==> 15 + 15 = 30 years old.

Ans 30 years old.

i) 60/150 = 60/150 x 100% = 40%
j) 180/600 = 180/600 x 100% = 30%


Question 4

a) 0.1 = 0.1 x 100% = 10%
b) 0.01 = 0.01 x 100% = 1%
c) 0.9 = 0.9 x 100% = 90%
d) 8%
e) 75%
f) 0.001 = 0.001 x 100% = 0.1%
g) 0.045 = 0.045 x 100% = 4.5%
h) 0.245 = 0.245 x 100% = 24.5%

Question 5

a) 11.25
b) 702
c) $75
d) 180m
e) 10.5 l
f) 9.6 kg

Question 6

100% - 85% = 15%


Question 7

100% - 45% - 20% = 35%

Question 8

36 / 400 x 100 % = 9%

Question 9

No. passed = 200 - 7 = 193

% passed = 193/200 x 100% = 96.5%


Question 10

% having computers = 320/500 x 100% = 64%


Question 11

a) % of the pupils walk to school = 28/40 x 100% = 70%

b) % of the pupils go to school by bus = 100% - 70% = 30%


Question 12

2/5 = 2/5 x 100% = 40%


Question 13

Amount of money = spent + left

spent 2/5 ---> left 3/5

% of his money left = 3/5 x 100% = 60%


Question 14

% of his stamps that are Malaysia stamps
= 3/5 x 100%
= 60%

Question 15

Total = Singapore stamps + Malaysia stamps

Malaysia stamps => 1 - 3/4 = 1/4 of the total stamps

1/4 = 1/4 x 100% = 25%


Question 16

To find percentage, we express the answer as a fraction first.

Fraction of the cloth used = 75cm / 3m (make the units the same)

= 75 cm / 300 cm

= 1/4

% of the cloth used = 1/4 x 100% = 25%


Question 17

Gold medals = 45 - 22 - 14 = 9

% of the medals that are gold medal = 9/45 x 100% = 20%
Question 18
