03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1440 millilitres, that is 1 litres 440 millilitres | 8 times 180 = 1440 millilitres, that is 1 litres 440 millilitres. |
| 2 | 48 minutes | 12 litres is 12000 millilitres, so 12000 divided by 250 = 48 minutes. |
| 3 | 1650 grams, that is 1 kilograms 650 grams | 3400 minus 1750 = 1650 grams, that is 1 kilograms 650 grams. |
| 4 | 400 millilitres | 5 times 320 = 1600 millilitres, so 2000 minus 1600 = 400 millilitres. |
| 5 | 10 bottles | 15 divided by 1.5 = 10, so 10 bottles are filled. |
| 6 | 3 kilograms, worth 72 dollars | 15 times 200 = 3000 grams, that is 3 kilograms, so 3 times 24 = 72 dollars. |
| 7 | 3500 millilitres, that is 3 litres 500 millilitres | 4 times 750 = 3000 millilitres, plus 500 gives 3500 millilitres, that is 3 litres 500 millilitres. |
| 8 | 20 meals, 10 days | 5 kilograms is 5000 grams, so 5000 divided by 250 = 20 meals, and 20 divided by 2 = 10 days. |
| 9 | Total 21 litres 350 millilitres, and 8 litres 650 millilitres more is needed | 12600 + 8750 = 21350 millilitres, that is 21 litres 350 millilitres, and 30000 minus 21350 = 8650 millilitres, that is 8 litres 650 millilitres. |
| 10 | 1040 grams | One kilogram is 1000 grams, so 1000 + 40 = 1040 grams, not 140 grams. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
