03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 kilometres 150 metres | Change both to 2350 and 1800 metres, add to get 4150 metres, that is 4 kilometres 150 metres. |
| 2 | 2 metres 65 centimetres | 540 minus 275 = 265 centimetres, that is 2 metres 65 centimetres. |
| 3 | 900 metres | 3600 divided by 4 = 900 metres, so each part is 900 metres. |
| 4 | 5 centimetres 3 millimetres | 45 + 8 = 53 millimetres; 50 millimetres is 5 centimetres with 3 millimetres left. |
| 5 | 2300 metres | 3.5 kilometres is 3500 metres, and 3500 minus 1200 = 2300 metres, that is 2 kilometres 300 metres. |
| 6 | 1.5 metres is longer | 1.5 metres is 150 centimetres, and 150 is greater than 145, so 1.5 metres is longer. |
| 7 | 1 metre 50 centimetres | 9 metres is 900 centimetres, and 900 divided by 6 = 150 centimetres, that is 1 metre 50 centimetres. |
| 8 | 5 kilometres | One return trip is 2 times 1250 = 2500 metres, so two trips are 5000 metres, that is 5 kilometres. |
| 9 | 60 centimetres | 4 metres is 400 centimetres, and 4 times 85 = 340 centimetres, so 400 minus 340 = 60 centimetres. |
| 10 | 205 centimetres | 2 metres is 200 centimetres, plus 5 centimetres gives 205 centimetres, not 25 centimetres. |
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.
