Short Answer

Question 16 3 marks

(a) Write 4,506,070 in words. 1 mark

(b) What is the value of the digit 5 in 4,506,070? 1 mark

(c) Round 4,506,070 to the nearest hundred thousand. 1 mark

Model Answer

(a) Four million, five hundred and six thousand and seventy [1]

(b) The 5 is in the hundred-thousands place, so its value is 500,000 [1]

(c) 4,500,000 [1]

Question 17 4 marks

(a) Evaluate: $-8 + 15 - (-3)$ 2 marks

(b) Evaluate: $(-4) \times (-5) \div (-2)$ 2 marks

Model Answer

(a) $-8 + 15 = 7$ [1]. $7 - (-3) = 7 + 3 = 10$ [1]

(b) $(-4) \times (-5) = 20$ [1]. $20 \div (-2) = -10$ [1]

Question 18 4 marks

(a) Simplify $\frac{24}{36}$ to lowest terms. 1 mark

(b) Evaluate: $\frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{4}$ 2 marks

(c) Evaluate: $\frac{5}{6} \div \frac{2}{3}$ 1 mark

Model Answer

(a) $\frac{24}{36} = \frac{24 \div 12}{36 \div 12} = \frac{2}{3}$ [1]

(b) LCD = 12. $\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{12}$, $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{12}$ [1]. $\frac{8}{12} + \frac{9}{12} = \frac{17}{12} = 1\frac{5}{12}$ [1]

(c) $\frac{5}{6} \div \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{12} = \frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4}$ [1]

Question 19 4 marks

(a) Convert 0.375 to a fraction in lowest terms. 1 mark

(b) Convert $\frac{2}{5}$ to a percentage. 1 mark

(c) A $250 bicycle has 20% off. What is the sale price? 2 marks

Model Answer

(a) $0.375 = \frac{375}{1000} = \frac{3}{8}$ [1]

(b) $\frac{2}{5} = 0.4 = 40\%$ [1]

(c) Discount = $20\%$ of $\$250 = \$50$ [1]. Sale price = $\$250 - \$50 = \$200$ [1]

Question 20 5 marks

(a) Simplify the ratio 18:24. 1 mark

(b) Divide $72 in the ratio 5:4. 2 marks

(c) A car travels 420 km in 6 hours. What is its average speed? 1 mark

(d) Which is better value: 400 g for $5 or 1 kg for $12? 1 mark

Model Answer

(a) $18:24 = 3:4$ [1]

(b) Total parts = 9. Each part = $\$72 \div 9 = \$8$ [1]. Shares are $\$40$ and $\$32$ [1]

(c) Speed = $420 \div 6 = 70$ km/h [1]

(d) 400 g for $\$5 = \$12.50$/kg. 1 kg for $\$12 = \$12$/kg. The 1 kg for $\$12$ is better value [1]
