03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pedestrians are separated from the traffic and never meet a vehicle. | Separating people from vehicles is the most effective road safety measure. |
| 2 | Standing is not allowed upstairs; sit down and hold the handrail. | The upper deck has a high centre of gravity, so standing passengers are hurt first in sudden braking. |
| 3 | Drivers have blind spots and vehicles need distance to stop. | A driver may not see a child who steps out in front of the vehicle. |
| 4 | At 10:37. | Four headways of 8 minutes is 32 minutes after 10:05. |
| 5 | At 09:24. | Add one more headway of 12 minutes. |
| 6 | 74 dollars. | Five extra kilometres cost 45 dollars, and 29 plus 45 is 74. |
| 7 | 54 minutes. | 3.6 divided by 4 is 0.9 hour, that is 54 minutes. |
| 8 | 286 dollars. | 6.5 times 2 times 22 is 286. |
| 9 | 200 seconds, which is 3 minutes 20 seconds. | 240 divided by 1.2 is 200. |
| 10 | Not necessarily; check the seconds left before starting. | Crossing times assume an average walking pace, so slow walking or stopping may use them all up. |
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 →
