03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The MTR, buses, minibuses, taxis and ferries. | Each type has its own routes and fares, so choose by distance and time. |
| 2 | Look right, then left, then right again. | Traffic keeps to the left in Hong Kong, so vehicles come from the right first. |
| 3 | Do not start crossing; wait for the next green figure. | The flashing means the crossing time is nearly over. |
| 4 | At 08:18. | Three intervals of 6 minutes is 18 minutes after the first bus. |
| 5 | 30 kilometres per hour. | 24 minutes is 0.4 hour, and 12 divided by 0.4 is 30. |
| 6 | 56 dollars. | Three extra kilometres cost 27 dollars, and 29 plus 27 is 56. |
| 7 | 480 dollars. | 20 days times 2 journeys is 40 journeys, and 40 times 12 is 480. |
| 8 | About 67 per cent. | 20 divided by 30 is 0.667, about 67 per cent of the cycle. |
| 9 | 6 minutes. | 12 times 30 seconds is 360 seconds, that is 6 minutes. |
| 10 | No; hurry across or wait on the refuge island for the next green light. | The light turns red soon after, so slow walkers can be stranded in the road. |
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.
Plan the route and check the timetable before setting out; always look right, left and right again before crossing; never start on a flashing green figure; check fares and times with a calculation.Tutor Registration →
