03 Answers and one-line notes

# Answer One-line note
1 3 shifts 24 divided by 8 is 3 shifts.
2 9 hours 30 minutes 21:30 to midnight is 2 hours 30 minutes, and 7 more hours gives 9 hours 30 minutes.
3 85 minutes 35 times 2 is 70, and 15 more gives 85 minutes.
4 09:00 Three gaps make 75 minutes, and 07:45 plus 75 minutes is 09:00.
5 5 hours 75 times 4 is 300 minutes, which is 5 hours.
6 50 minutes 200 divided by 4 is 50 minutes.
7 7 hours 30 minutes 08:30 to 17:15 is 8 hours 45 minutes, and taking away 75 minutes leaves 7 hours 30 minutes.
8 01:05 the next day 22:15 plus 1 hour 45 minutes reaches 24:00, then 65 more minutes gives 01:05.
9 33 hours 45 minutes 405 times 5 is 2025 minutes, which is 33 hours 45 minutes.
10 30 minutes 09:50 to 10:00 is 10 minutes and 10:00 to 10:20 is 20 minutes, so 30 minutes in all.

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.
