03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A post office handles mail and remittances, a clinic treats patients, a fire station fights fires and rescues people. | Names hint at function; match each facility to its main service. |
| 2 | 17 x 3 = 51 dollars. | Fees are per person, so multiply the fare by the number of people. |
| 3 | 7:48. | The fifth bus is 4 intervals after the first: 12 x 4 = 48 minutes. |
| 4 | 18 minutes. | 1.2 / 4 = 0.3 hours, and 0.3 x 60 = 18 minutes. |
| 5 | 6 people per counter; the last one waits 18 minutes. | Divide by counters first, then multiply by the handling time per person. |
| 6 | 36 000 books in total, leaving 30 600 on the shelves. | Multiply by the number of branches, then take 85% of the total. |
| 7 | 44 x 11.5 = 506 dollars, so 26 dollars is saved. | Work out the pay per ride total first, then subtract the pass price. |
| 8 | There are 60 places, so 80% is 48 people. | Multiply classes by places, then apply the percentage. |
| 9 | 24 minutes. | 1.8 / 4.5 = 0.4 hours, which is 24 minutes. |
| 10 | No. Libraries, parks, community centres and public transport all need ramps, lifts and tactile paving. | Accessibility is a standard for the whole community, not an add on for one building. |
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.
Then try paper three, using voltage and current to work out power and resistance.Tutor Registration →
