Section A: Multiple Choice (15 marks)

1. (D) - 3 is in the hundred thousands place, so its value is 300 thousands
2. (B) - 4,758,936 rounds to 4,800,000 when rounded to the nearest hundred thousand
3. (A) - Using BODMAS: 8 + 4 × 3 - 5 = 8 + 12 - 5 = 15
4. (A) - 4/6 = 8/12 (multiply both by 2)
5. (B) - 5/8 + 1/4 = 5/8 + 2/8 = 7/8
6. (A) - 2 1/3 × 2 = 7/3 × 2 = 14/3 = 4 2/3
7. (B) - 25% of 80 = 25/100 × 80 = 20
8. (C) - If 3 books cost $15, 1 book costs$5, so 5 books cost $25
9. (B) - 6.25 × 100 = 625
10. (B) - Area = 1/2 × base × height = 1/2 × 8 × 6 = 24 cm²
11. (D) - 65° is acute (less than 90°)
12. (B) - 0.45 = 45/100 = 45%
13. (B) - 3/4 of 20 = 3/4 × 20 = 15
14. (B) - 60 km/h means 60 km in 1 hour
15. (C) - Perimeter = 2(l + w) = 2(12 + 5) = 34 cm

Section B: Short Answer (20 marks)

16. Six million, four hundred and twenty thousand, seven hundred and thirty-nine

17. a) 8,400 ÷ 100 = 84 b) 0.56 × 1000 = 560

18. a) 18/24 = 3/4 (divide by 6) b) 35/45 = 7/9 (divide by 5)

19. a) 2 3/5 + 1 1/4 = 13/5 + 5/4 = 52/20 + 25/20 = 77/20 = 3 17/20 b) 3/4 × 8 = 24/4 = 6

20. a) 30% of 150 = 30/100 × 150 = 45 b) 12 out of 48 = 12/48 = 1/4 = 25%

21. Distance = speed × time = 80 × 3 = 240 km

Section C: Word Problems (25 marks)

22. Initial books = 12,487 Books bought = 3,568 Books discarded = 1,235 Final books = 12,487 + 3,568 - 1,235 = 14,820

  Answer: The library has 14,820 books now.

23. Flour used for bread = 2/5 Flour used for cookies = 1/4 Total used = 2/5 + 1/4 = 8/20 + 5/20 = 13/20 Flour left = 1 - 13/20 = 7/20

  Answer: She used 13/20 of her flour altogether. 7/20 of flour was left.

24. Girls = 240 Girls = 1 - 3/8 = 5/8 of participants If 5/8 = 240, then 1/8 = 48 Boys = 3/8 = 3 × 48 = 144 Total participants = 240 + 144 = 384

  Answer: 144 boys participated. There were 384 participants in total.

25. Original price = $45 Discount = 20$45 = 0.20 × $45 =$9 Sale price = $45 -$9 = $36

  Answer: The sale price is $36.

26. Distance = 15 × 2.5 = 37.5 km Time for 60 km = 60 ÷ 15 = 4 hours

  Answer: Ahmad travels 37.5 km in 2.5 hours. It will take 4 hours to travel 60 km.
