03 Answers and one-line notes

# Answer One-line note
1 Six departures. Sixty minutes gives 5 gaps, and counting both ends makes 6 departures.
2 $117.6. 9.8 times 2 trips and then 6 days gives 117.6.
3 32 km/h. Dividing 8 by 0.25 is the same as multiplying by 4.
4 27 minutes. Add the three parts: 5 plus 16 plus 6 gives 27 minutes.
5 $8.8. Multiply 22 by 4 and then place the decimal point one place from the right.
6 72 km/h. Multiply by 3.6, so 20 becomes 72 km/h.
7 12.5 MB each. Half of 25 is 12.5, and both emails stay within the limit.
8 1 350 g. The gap per kilometre is 90 g, and 15 km gives 1 350 g.
9 At 8:20 a.m. Six stations give 5 gaps of 2 minutes, so 8:10 plus 10 minutes is 8:20.
10 The end departures were missed, so the answer is 6. Both the 7:00 and 8:00 departures count, and 5 gaps give 6 departures.

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.

With all four done, go back to the chapter page and revise the three parts of a closed circuit plus three safety habits.Tutor Registration →
