Primary General Studies: Transport and Community Facilities (Paper 3 (challenge))
Paper three moves to application: facility supply ratios, capacity with rounding up, percentage increases, and total time comparisons between walking and public transport.
Direct answers Before rounding ask whether half a unit is possible; if not, round up. When comparing times, add every part of the trip.

02 Questions (10 items)
- FoundationInto which broad groups do community facilities fall?
- FoundationA district has 480 000 people and needs one library per 10 000. How many libraries?
- FoundationA sports centre is 3.6 km away and you walk at 4.5 km per hour. How many minutes?
- IntermediateA minibus seats 16. How many can 5 buses carry, and how many buses are needed for 120 people?
- IntermediateA library opens 09:00 to 19:00, six days a week. How many hours is that?
- IntermediateA clinic has 3 doctors seeing 4 patients each per hour. How long for 60 patients?
- ChallengeA bus fare rises from 6.8 to 7.5 dollars. What is the percentage increase to one decimal place?
- ChallengeFor a 2.4 km trip, walking at 4 km per hour takes 36 minutes, while a minibus means an 8 minute wait plus a 9 minute ride. How much faster is the minibus?
- ChallengeA community centre runs 250 activity days a year, 3 sessions a day, 20 people a session. How many attendances a year?

03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Health (clinics, hospitals), culture and leisure (libraries, pools), safety and rescue (police, fire), and municipal services (markets, refuse stations). | Classify by the nature of the service; some facilities span two groups. |
| 2 | 48 libraries. | Divide the population by the number served per library. |
| 3 | 48 minutes. | 3.6 / 4.5 = 0.8 hours, which is 48 minutes. |
| 4 | 5 buses carry 80; 120 people need 8 buses. | 120 / 16 = 7.5, and you cannot run half a bus, so round up to 8. |
| 5 | 10 hours a day, so 60 hours a week. | Subtract for one day, then multiply by open days. |
| 6 | 12 patients an hour, so 5 hours. | Find the hourly throughput first, then divide the patients by it. |
| 7 | 10.3%. | The increase of 0.7 divided by the old fare of 6.8, times 100. |
| 8 | The minibus takes 17 minutes, so it is 19 minutes faster. | The minibus total must include waiting, otherwise the comparison is unfair. |
| 9 | 15 000 attendances. | Multiply 250 by 3 by 20; all three factors multiply together. |
| 10 | The base must be the old price: 0.7 / 6.8 = 10.3%. | When measuring change, the denominator is always the original value. |
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.
Paper four clears the conductor, insulator and battery direction misconceptions.Tutor Registration →
