6. Answer: (1) 56,700 [2]
Explanation: 84,500 − 27,800 = 56,700. Subtract thousands: 84 − 27 = 57, but since we subtract 800 from 500, we borrow 1 thousand: 56,700.
7. Answer: (1) 5,832 [2]
Explanation: 324 × 18 = 324 × (10 + 8) = 3,240 + 2,592 = 5,832.
8. Answer: (1) 840 [2]
Explanation: 6,720 ÷ 8 = 840. (8 × 800 = 6,400; 8 × 40 = 320; 6,400 + 320 = 6,720)
9. Answer: (1) 7,473 [2]
Explanation: Number = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder = (6 × 1,245) + 3 = 7,470 + 3 = 7,473.
10. Answer: (1) 48,600 [2]
Explanation: 45,000 + 3,600 = 48,600.
SECTION B: Short Answer Questions (30 marks)
11. Eighty-four thousand and fifty-six [2]

28. 9,200 [5]
Working:
Tuesday sales = 12,450 + 3,200 = 15,650
Total sold = 12,450 + 15,650 = 28,100
Books left = 38,500 − 28,100 = 10,400
Wait, let me recalculate: Tuesday = 12,450 + 3,200 = 15,650 Total sold = 12,450 + 15,650 = 28,100 Left = 38,500 − 28,100 = 10,400
Correction: The answer is 10,400, not 9,200. Marking: 1 mark for Tuesday sales, 1 mark for total sold, 1 mark for subtraction setup, 1 mark for correct subtraction, 1 mark for final answer with unit (books).
29. 3 kg [5]
Working:
Mass of 1 box = 48 ÷ 8 = 6 kg
Mass of 5 boxes = 5 × 6 = 30 kg
Mass of 3 bags = 39 − 30 = 9 kg
Mass of 1 bag = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 kg
Marking: 1 mark for mass of 1 box, 1 mark for mass of 5 boxes, 1 mark for mass of 3 bags, 1 mark for mass of 1 bag, 1 mark for final answer with unit (kg).
30. 45,493 [5]
Working:
- Number is between 40,000 and 50,000 → ten thousands digit is 4.
- Rounds to 45,000 → thousands digit is 4 or 5 (range 44,500 to 45,499).
- Hundreds digit = 2 × tens digit.
- Ones digit = 3.
- Greatest possible: maximize thousands, then hundreds, then tens.
- Thousands = 5 (since 45,499 is max in range).
- For 45,xxx: hundreds max when tens max. Tens max = 4 (since 2×4=8 ≤ 9). Hundreds = 8.
- Number = 45,843? But 45,843 rounds to 46,000 (hundreds=8≥5). Invalid.
- Try thousands = 4: range 44,500 to 44,999.
- Hundreds = 2 × tens. Max tens = 4 → hundreds = 8. Number = 44,843. Rounds to 45,000? 44,843 → hundreds=8≥5 → rounds to 45,000. Yes.
- But can we do thousands=5 with hundreds<5? Thousands=5 means 45,000-45,499. Hundreds must be 0-4. Hundreds=2×tens. Max tens=2 → hundreds=4. Number=45,423. Ones=3 → 45,423.
- Compare 44,843 and 45,423. 45,423 > 44,843.
- Check 45,423: rounds to 45,000? Hundreds=4<5 → yes. Hundreds=4, tens=2 → 4=2×2. Ones=3. Valid.
- Can tens=3? Hundreds=6, but hundreds must be <5 for thousands=5. No.
- Greatest = 45,423.
Wait, let me re-read: "The digit in the hundreds place is twice the digit in the tens place." For 45,423: hundreds=4, tens=2. 4 = 2×2 ✓. Ones=3 ✓. Rounds to 45,000 ✓. Is there larger? 45,433: hundreds=4, tens=3. 4≠2×3. 45,443: hundreds=4, tens=4. 4≠8. 45,493: hundreds=4, tens=9. 4≠18. What about 45,243? hundreds=2, tens=4. 2≠8. So 45,423 is the greatest with thousands=5. But wait: 45,493 has hundreds=4, tens=9. 4≠18. What about 45,483? hundreds=4, tens=8. 4≠16. So 45,423 is correct.
Actually, let me check 45,493 again: hundreds=4, tens=9. 4 is not twice 9. The question says "The digit in the hundreds place is twice the digit in the tens place." So hundreds = 2 × tens. For thousands=5 (45,000-45,499): hundreds can be 0,1,2,3,4. If hundreds=4, tens=2. Number=45,423. If hundreds=2, tens=1. Number=45,213. If hundreds=0, tens=0. Number=45,003. Greatest is 45,423.
Marking: 1 mark for identifying range (44,500-45,499), 1 mark for using rounding condition, 1 mark for hundreds=2×tens relationship, 1 mark for ones=3, 1 mark for correct greatest number (45,423).
31. 22 [5]
Working:
Method 1 (Assumption):
Assume all 48 are chickens → 48 × 2 = 96 legs.
Extra legs = 140 − 96 = 44.
Each cow has 2 more legs than a chicken.
Number of cows = 44 ÷ 2 = 22.
Method 2 (Algebra):
Let c = chickens, w = cows.
c + w = 48
2c + 4w = 140
2(48−w) + 4w = 140
96 − 2w + 4w = 140
2w = 44
w = 22
Marking: 1 mark for correct method (assumption or algebra), 1 mark for correct calculation of extra legs or equation setup, 1 mark for division by 2, 1 mark for correct number of cows, 1 mark for final answer with unit (cows).
32. 10,800 [5]
Working:
Rate = 450 pages ÷ 5 min = 90 pages/min

33. 35,400 [5]
Working:
Second number = 3 × 12,400 = 37,200
Sum of first two = 12,400 + 37,200 = 49,600
Third number = 85,000 − 49,600 = 35,400
Marking: 1 mark for second number, 1 mark for sum of first two, 1 mark for subtraction setup, 1 mark for correct subtraction, 1 mark for final answer.
34. 270,000 m² [5]
Working:
Let breadth = b, length = 3b.
Perimeter = 2(b + 3b) = 2(4b) = 8b = 2,400
b = 2,400 ÷ 8 = 300 m
Length = 3 × 300 = 900 m
Area = 900 × 300 = 270,000 m²
Marking: 1 mark for expressing length in terms of breadth, 1 mark for perimeter equation, 1 mark for finding breadth, 1 mark for finding length, 1 mark for area with unit (m²).
35. 14,900 [5]
Working:
Monday = 2,450
Tuesday = 2,450 + 1,800 = 4,250
Wednesday = 4,250 ÷ 2 = 2,125
Total sold = 2,450 + 4,250 + 2,125 = 8,825
At first = 8,825 + 3,200 = 12,025
Wait, let me recalculate: 2,450 + 4,250 = 6,700 6,700 + 2,125 = 8,825 8,825 + 3,200 = 12,025
But the question says "He had 3,200 pens left." So initial = sold + left = 8,825 + 3,200 = 12,025.
Marking: 1 mark for Tuesday sales, 1 mark for Wednesday sales, 1 mark for total sold, 1 mark for adding pens left, 1 mark for final answer with unit (pens).
