03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | They make daily life easier nearby: a library for books, a wet market for food, a post office for mail. | Community facilities are local service points run by the government or charities so residents need not travel far. |
| 2 | 6 x 3 = 18 books. | Multiply the limit per visit by the number of visits to get the total. |
| 3 | 5 + 12 = 17 minutes. | A door to door journey includes the walk to the stop, not just the ride. |
| 4 | 8 hours a day, so 48 hours over the 6 open days. | Subtract the opening times for one day, then multiply by the number of open days. |
| 5 | 12 x 2.5 = 30 dollars. | Multiply the unit price by the weight; the weight may be a decimal. |
| 6 | 24 / 4 = 6 people. | Counters work in parallel, so divide by the number of counters. |
| 7 | 10:15. | Add 45 minutes to 9:30; every 60 minutes carries into the next hour. |
| 8 | 1.5 + 2 = 3.5 hours. | Time each session separately and add; the lunch break is not opening time. |
| 9 | 2.8 x 4 = 11.2 dollars. | Postage is charged per letter, so multiply the unit price by the number of letters. |
| 10 | No. Borrowing is free; you only need a library card. | Only extras such as photocopying or overdue fines are charged, not borrowing itself. |
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.
After paper one, take paper two and sort out series against parallel in one pass.Tutor Registration →
