16. Arrange these fractions from smallest to largest: (4 marks)
a) 1/4, 3/4, 2/4 Answer: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 (2 marks) Same denominator, so compare numerators: 1 < 2 < 3
b) 5/8, 3/8, 7/8 Answer: 3/8, 5/8, 7/8 (2 marks) Same denominator, so compare numerators: 3 < 5 < 7
17. Calculate: (6 marks)
a) 168 ÷ 7 = 24 (2 marks) Working: 140 ÷ 7 = 20, 28 ÷ 7 = 4, so 20 + 4 = 24 Check: 7 × 24 = 168 ✓
b) 252 ÷ 14 = 18 (2 marks) Working: 14 × 10 = 140, 252 - 140 = 112, 14 × 8 = 112, so 10 + 8 = 18 Check: 14 × 18 = 252 ✓
c) 8 × 54 = 432 (2 marks) Working: 8 × 54 = 8 × 50 + 8 × 4 = 400 + 32 = 432
