Answer Key and Marking Scheme
Version: 1 of 5
SECTION A: Multiple Choice Questions (10 marks)
| Question | Answer | Working / Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 5,080,600 = 5 × 1,000,000 + 80 × 10,000 + 600 = 5 million 80 thousand 600 |
| 2 | 4 | The digit 7 is in the millions place: 7 × 1,000,000 = 7,000,000 |
| 3 | 2 | 6,849,532 → look at thousands place (9): next digit is 5, so round up: 6,850,000... wait, check again. Thousands digit is 9 (in 849), hundreds digit is 5, so round 849 up to 850, giving 6,850,000. Actually rechecking: 6,849,532, the thousands are '849', the hundreds digit is 5, so round 849,000 up to 850,000. Answer is 3) 6,850,000 — correction noted. |
| 3 | 3 | 6,849,532: Identify the thousands place (9 in 849,000). The digit to the right (hundreds place) is 5. Since 5 ≥ 5, round up: 849,000 → 850,000. Result: 6,850,000 |
| 4 | 3 | 4,958,726 + 100,000 = 5,058,726. Add 1 to the hundred thousands digit (9→10, carry over): 4,958,726 + 100,000 = 5,058,726 |
| 5 | 1 | 3,456,000 ÷ 1000 = 3456 (divide by 1000: remove three zeros or move decimal 3 places left) |
| 6 | 3 | Hundred thousands place: 9 × 100,000 = 900,000; Hundreds place: 9 × 100 = 900; Ratio: 900,000 ÷ 900 = 1000 |
| 7 | 4 | Compare digit by digit from left: 4,087,521 has 0 in hundred thousands, others have 7 or 8. All others start with 487..., 480..., 478..., so 4,087,521 < all others |
| 8 | 2 | 2,400,000 − 10,000 = 2,390,000 (subtract 1 from the ten thousands digit: 0 becomes 9 with borrowing) |
| 9 | 4 | ? ÷ 100 = 56,780, so ? = 56,780 × 100 = 5,678,000 (multiply by 100: add two zeros) |
| 10 | 3 | 3,500,000 rounded to nearest ten thousand: range is 3,495,000 to 3,504,999. Only 3,504,999 falls in this range |
Marking: 1 mark each, no partial credit. Total: 10 marks.
SECTION B: Short Answer Questions (20 marks)
11. Write 7,003,509 in words. [2 marks]
Answer: Seven million three thousand five hundred and nine
Marking:
- [1] for "seven million"
- [1] for "three thousand five hundred and nine" (accept "three thousand five hundred nine")
Teaching Note: Group digits in threes from right: 7 | 003 | 509. Middle group '003' is 'three thousand' (not 'three zero zero three').
12. Arrange in descending order: 5,678,901 ; 5,768,190 ; 5,687,910 ; 5,876,109 [2 marks]
Answer: 5,876,109 ; 5,768,190 ; 5,687,910 ; 5,678,901
Working: Compare digit by digit from left:
- All start with 5, so compare hundred thousands digit:
- 5,876,109: 8
- 5,768,190: 7
- 5,687,910: 6
- 5,678,901: 6
For 5,687,910 and 5,678,901, compare ten thousands digit: 8 > 7, so 5,687,910 > 5,678,901.
Marking:
- [1] for correct order with biggest first
- [1] for complete correct sequence
13. Find 8,400 × 50 [2 marks]
Answer: 420,000
Working:
- Method 1: 8,400 × 50 = 8,400 × 5 × 10 = 42,000 × 10 = 420,000
- Method 2: 84 × 5 = 420, then add three zeros (from 8,400) and one zero (from 50) = four zeros: 420,000
Marking:
- [1] for correct working shown
- [1] for correct answer
Common Error: Getting 42,000 (forgetting final ×10 for the zero in 50).
14. Find 3,600,000 ÷ 600 [2 marks]
Answer: 6,000
Working:
- 3,600,000 ÷ 600 = 3,600,000 ÷ (6 × 100) = (3,600,000 ÷ 100) ÷ 6 = 36,000 ÷ 6 = 6,000
- Or: cancel two zeros: 36,000 ÷ 6 = 6,000
Marking:
- [1] for correct method (cancelling zeros or long division)
- [1] for correct answer
15. Find 2,000,000 − 756,843 [2 marks]
Answer: 1,243,157
Working:
2,000,000
- 756,843
-----------
1,243,157
Method: Multiple borrowing needed.
- Units: 0−3, borrow: 10−3=7
- Tens: (0−1)−4, need to borrow: 9−4=5... continue through
Or use complement: 2,000,000 − 756,843 = 1,999,999 + 1 − 756,843 = 1,243,156 + 1 = 1,243,157
Marking:
- [1] for correct working
- [1] for correct answer
16. Empty seats: 8,250 − 6,875 [2 marks]
Answer: 1,375 seats
Working: 8,250 − 6,875 = 1,375
Marking:
- [1] for correct subtraction method
- [1] for correct answer
17. Daily production: 15,600 ÷ 30 [2 marks]
Answer: 520 boxes
Working: 15,600 ÷ 30 = 15,600 ÷ (3 × 10) = (15,600 ÷ 10) ÷ 3 = 1,560 ÷ 3 = 520
Or: cancel one zero: 1,560 ÷ 3 = 520
Marking:
- [1] for correct division method
- [1] for correct answer
18. Monthly instalment [3 marks]
Answer: $9,300
Working:
- Remaining after deposit: 45,000 = $139,500
- Each instalment: 9,300**
Check: 139,500 ✓
Marking:
- [1] for finding remaining amount ($139,500)
- [1] for correct division method
- [1] for correct answer
Common Error: Dividing $184,500 by 15 without subtracting deposit first.
19. Find the number: ? × 40 = 2,840,000 [2 marks]
Answer: 71,000
Working: ? = 2,840,000 ÷ 40 = 2,840,000 ÷ (4 × 10) = (2,840,000 ÷ 10) ÷ 4 = 284,000 ÷ 4 = 71,000
Or cancel one zero: 284,000 ÷ 4 = 71,000
Check: 71,000 × 40 = 2,840,000 ✓
Marking:
- [1] for setting up correct division
- [1] for correct answer
20. Greatest 7-digit number from 9, 0, 5, 3, 1, 7, 2 [2 marks]
Answer: 9,753,210
Working: Arrange digits in descending order: 9 > 7 > 5 > 3 > 2 > 1 > 0
Greatest number: 9,753,210
Marking:
- [1] for correct order (descending)
- [1] for correct placement (9 first, 0 last)
Common Error: Putting 0 first to make 0,123,579 (not a 7-digit number, becomes 6-digit).
Section B Total: 20 marks
SECTION C: Long Answer / Problem Solving (30 marks)
21. (a) Expanded form of 4,075,680 [1 mark]
Answer: 4,000,000 + 70,000 + 5,000 + 600 + 80
Or: 4 × 1,000,000 + 7 × 10,000 + 5 × 1,000 + 6 × 100 + 8 × 10
Marking: [1] for complete correct expansion. Accept either form.
**(b) Difference between values of two 7s in 7,754,372 [3 marks]
Answer: 6,930,000
Working:
- First 7 (millions place): 7 × 1,000,000 = 7,000,000
- Second 7 (tens place): 7 × 10 = 70
- Difference: 7,000,000 − 70 = 6,999,930
Correction: Re-reading 7,754,372 — digits are: 7, 7, 5, 4, 3, 7, 2
Wait — let me recount: 7-7-5-4-3-7-2 has three 7s. The question says "two 7s" — checking: 7,754,372.
Positions:
- First 7: millions (7,000,000)
- Second 7: hundred thousands (700,000)
- Third 7: tens (70)
The question likely means the first and second 7s encountered: 7,000,000 and 700,000.
Corrected Answer: 6,300,000
Working:
- First 7 (millions): 7 × 1,000,000 = 7,000,000
- Second 7 (hundred thousands): 7 × 100,000 = 700,000
- Difference: 7,000,000 − 700,000 = 6,300,000
Marking:
- [1] for identifying first 7's value correctly (7,000,000)
- [1] for identifying second 7's value correctly (700,000)
- [1] for correct subtraction
Teaching Note: The position of a digit determines its value by powers of 10. Same digit, different positions = vastly different values.
22. Population table
(a) Greatest population [1 mark]
Answer: Town C
Working: Compare: 1,302,915 > 1,245,678 > 1,198,760 > 1,180,450
Marking: [1] for correct town identified.
(b) Total population [2 marks]
Answer: 4,927,803
Working:
1,245,678
+ 1,180,450
+ 1,302,915
+ 1,198,760
-----------
4,927,803
Step by step:
- 1,245,678 + 1,180,450 = 2,426,128
- 2,426,128 + 1,302,915 = 3,729,043
- 3,729,043 + 1,198,760 = 4,927,803
Marking:
- [1] for correct addition method
- [1] for correct answer
(c) Rounded total [2 marks]
Answer: 5,000,000 (or 5 million)
Working:
- Town A: 1,245,678 → 1,200,000 (round down, 4 < 5)
- Town B: 1,180,450 → 1,200,000 (round up, 8 ≥ 5)
- Town C: 1,302,915 → 1,300,000 (round down, 0 < 5)
- Town D: 1,198,760 → 1,200,000 (round up, 9 ≥ 5)
Total: 1,200,000 + 1,200,000 + 1,300,000 + 1,200,000 = 4,900,000
Corrected Answer: 4,900,000
Marking:
- [1] for correct rounding of all four values
- [1] for correct total
Teaching Note: Rounding before adding gives different result than adding then rounding. 4,927,803 → 4,900,000 (nearest hundred thousand), which matches the rounded sum.
23. Rice packets
(a) Cost for 40 kg using small packets only [2 marks]
Answer: $144
Working:
- Number of small packets needed: 40 ÷ 5 = 8 packets
- Total cost: 8 × 144**
Marking:
- [1] for correct number of packets (8)
- [1] for correct total cost
(b) Most economical combination [3 marks]
Answer: 4 large packets and 1 small packet; cost $122
Working:
- Cost per kg: Small = 3.60/kg; Large = 3.25/kg
- Large packets are cheaper per kg, so maximize large packets.
Find combinations for 40 kg:
- 5 large: 5 × 8 = 40 kg, cost = 5 × 130
- 4 large + 1 small: 32 + 5 = 37 kg... not enough
- 4 large + 2 small: 32 + 10 = 42 kg, cost = 36 = $140
- 3 large + remainder: 24 kg, need 16 kg more = not divisible by 5
Wait — let me recheck: 40 ÷ 8 = 5 exactly.
Actually: 4 large = 32 kg, need 8 kg more. But small is 5 kg.
- 4 large + 2 small = 32 + 10 = 42 kg (too much, costs $140)
- 5 large = 40 kg exactly, costs $130
Or: 0 large + 8 small = $144 Or: find if any combination works better...
3 large = 24 kg, need 16 kg: not possible with 5 kg packets 1 large = 8 kg, need 32 kg: 32 ÷ 5 not whole
Best valid combination: 5 large packets = $130, or check:
- 4 large + 1 small = 37 kg (insufficient)
Corrected Answer: 5 large packets; $130
Or if she can buy extra: 4 large + 2 small = 42 kg for $140
Most economical for at least 40 kg: 5 large = $130 (exactly 40)
Marking:
- [1] for identifying large packets as better value per kg
- [1] for valid combination giving 40 kg (or at least 40 kg if specified)
- [1] for correct minimum cost
Teaching Note: Unit price comparison is key. $/kg lets us compare different sizes directly. Always check if exact quantities are possible.
24. Powers of 10 pattern
(a) [1 mark]
Answer: 1,000,000
(b) Zeros in [2 marks]
Answer: 12 zeros
Working: Pattern shows = 1 followed by n zeros. So = 1,000,000,000,000 which has 12 zeros.
Marking:
- [1] for recognizing pattern (n = number of zeros)
- [1] for correct answer
(c) 8,000,000 as product [2 marks]
Answer: 8 ×
Working: 8,000,000 = 8 × 1,000,000 = 8 ×
Marking:
- [1] for correct single digit (8)
- [1] for correct power of 10 ()
25. Book sales
(a) Second month sales [2 marks]
Answer: 361,350 copies
Working: 486,750 − 125,400 = 361,350
Marking:
- [1] for correct subtraction method
- [1] for correct answer
(b) Unsold copies [3 marks]
