Total Marks: 80


Section A: Multiple-Choice Questions (20 marks)

1. Answer: (2) 800 000 [2]

Working:
The number is 4 826 391.
Place values from left: 4 (millions), 8 (hundred thousands), 2 (ten thousands), 6 (thousands), 3 (hundreds), 9 (tens), 1 (ones).
Digit 8 is in the hundred thousands place → 8 × 100 000 = 800 000.

Key concept: In a 7-digit number, the second digit from the left is the hundred thousands place.


2. Answer: (2) 3 750 000 [2]

Working:
Number: 3 748 265
Ten thousands digit = 4
Next digit (thousands) = 8 ≥ 5, so round up the ten thousands digit from 4 to 5.
Digits after ten thousands become zeros.
→ 3 750 000

Key concept: When rounding to the nearest ten thousand, look at the thousands digit. If ≥ 5, round up.


3. Answer: (1) 5 346 297 [2]

Working:
Add by place value:
5 000 000

  • 300 000 = 5 300 000
  • 40 000 = 5 340 000
  • 6 000 = 5 346 000
  • 200 = 5 346 200
  • 90 = 5 346 290
  • 7 = 5 346 297

Key concept: Expanded form shows the value of each digit. Add from largest to smallest place value.


4. Answer: (1) 480 [2]

Working:
Order of operations (BODMAS): Brackets first, then Division/Multiplication (left to right).
45 + 15 = 60
72 × 60 = 4320
4320 ÷ 9 = 480

Alternative: 72 ÷ 9 = 8, then 8 × 60 = 480 (easier mental calculation).

Key concept: Brackets first. Multiplication and division have equal priority — work left to right.


5. Answer: (1) 25 350 [2]

Working:
January: 8 450 toys
February: 3 × 8 450 = 25 350 toys
Calculation: 8 000 × 3 = 24 000; 450 × 3 = 1 350; Total = 25 350

Key concept: "3 times as many" means multiply by 3.


6. Answer: (1) 700 000 [2]

Working:
Sum of known parts: 6 000 000 + 40 000 + 3 000 + 200 + 50 + 8 = 6 043 258
Target: 6 743 258
Missing = 6 743 258 − 6 043 258 = 700 000

Key concept: Find the missing addend by subtracting the sum of known parts from the total.


7. Answer: (3) 2 450 049 [2]

Working:
Rounding to nearest hundred: look at tens digit.
(1) 2 449 450 → tens digit 5, hundreds digit 4 → rounds to 2 449 500 ✗
(2) 2 449 549 → tens digit 4, hundreds digit 5 → rounds to 2 449 500 ✗
(3) 2 450 049 → tens digit 4, hundreds digit 0 → rounds to 2 450 000 ✓
(4) 2 450 549 → tens digit 4, hundreds digit 5 → rounds to 2 450 500 ✗

Key concept: To round to nearest hundred, check the tens digit. If tens < 5, round down (hundreds digit stays); if tens ≥ 5, round up.


8. Answer: (1) 5 654 322 [2]

Working:
8 000 000 − 2 345 678
= 5 654 322
Check: 5 654 322 + 2 345 678 = 8 000 000 ✓

Key concept: Subtraction with regrouping across zeros. Verify by adding back.


9. Answer: (1) 1 000 005 [2]

Working:
Division algorithm: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
Number = 8 × 125 000 + 5 = 1 000 000 + 5 = 1 000 005

Key concept: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder. Remainder must be less than divisor (5 < 8 ✓).


10. Answer: (2) 750 000 [2]

Working:
Let larger = L, smaller = S
L + S = 1 200 000
L − S = 300 000
Add: 2L = 1 500 000 → L = 750 000
Check: S = 450 000; Sum = 1 200 000; Difference = 300 000 ✓

Key concept: Sum and difference problems: Larger = (Sum + Difference) ÷ 2.


Section B: Short Answer Questions (30 marks)

11. Answer: Seven million forty-five thousand six hundred and eight [2]

Marking:

  • Correct words for millions: "Seven million" [1]
  • Correct words for thousands and below: "forty-five thousand six hundred and eight" [1]
  • Accept "Seven million, forty-five thousand, six hundred and eight" (commas optional)
  • Common error: "Seven million four hundred fifty-six thousand eight" (wrong place value for 045)

Key concept: Read in groups of three digits from right: millions, thousands, ones. Zero in ten thousands place → "forty-five thousand" not "four hundred fifty thousand".


12. Answer: 4 286 391, 4 628 391, 4 826 391, 4 862 391 [2]

Working:
All numbers have 4 millions. Compare hundred thousands:
2 (smallest) → 4 286 391
6 → 4 628 391
8 → compare ten thousands: 2 vs 6 → 2 is smaller → 4 826 391, then 4 862 391

Key concept: Compare digits from left to right (highest place value first).


13. Answer: 7 000 [2]

Working:
5 600 000 ÷ 800
= 56 000 ÷ 8 (divide both by 100)
= 7 000
Check: 7 000 × 800 = 5 600 000 ✓

Key concept: Cancel zeros by dividing both numbers by the same power of 10.


14. Answer: 4 549 999 [2]

Working:
Rounded to nearest hundred thousand = 4 500 000
Range: 4 450 000 ≤ number < 4 550 000
Greatest possible = 4 549 999

Key concept: When rounding to nearest hundred thousand, the halfway point is 50 000. Numbers from 4 450 000 to 4 549 999 round to 4 500 000.


15. Answer: 2 350 000 [2]

Working:
Pattern decreases by 50 000 each step:
2 500 000 → 2 450 000 → 2 400 000 → 2 350 000 → 2 300 000

Key concept: Identify the common difference in a number pattern.


16. Answer: 4 800 [2]

Working:
48 × 25 × 4
= 48 × (25 × 4) (group 25 and 4 first)
= 48 × 100
= 4 800

Key concept: Use associative property to make multiplication easier. 25 × 4 = 100 is a known fact.


17. Answer: 2 222 222 [2]

Working:
City A: 3 456 789
City B: 3 456 789 − 1 234 567 = 2 222 222
Check: 2 222 222 + 1 234 567 = 3 456 789 ✓

Key concept: "Fewer than" means subtraction. Align place values carefully.


18. Answer: 30 000 [2]

Working:
2 500 × 12
= 2 500 × 10 + 2 500 × 2
= 25 000 + 5 000
= 30 000

Alternative: 2 500 × 12 = 25 × 100 × 12 = 25 × 1 200 = 30 000

Key concept: Break multiplication into friendly parts (distributive property).


19. Answer: 5 760 000 [2]

Working:
Order of operations: Multiplication before subtraction.
48 × 5 000 = 240 000
6 000 000 − 240 000 = 5 760 000

Key concept: BODMAS — multiplication before subtraction.


20. Answer: 900 [2]

Working:
Product = 720 000
One number = 800
Other number = 720 000 ÷ 800 = 7 200 ÷ 8 = 900
Check: 900 × 800 = 720 000 ✓

Key concept: Division is the inverse of multiplication. Cancel zeros: 720 000 ÷ 800 = 7 200 ÷ 8.


Section C: Structured / Long Answer Questions (30 marks)

21. [3 marks]

(a) 4 570 000 [1]
Working: 4 567 890 → ten thousands digit = 6, thousands digit = 7 ≥ 5 → round up to 4 570 000.

(b) 4 691 346 [1]
Working: 4 567 890 + 123 456 = 4 691 346.

(c) 9 383 [1]
Working: Total books = 4 691 346
Boxes needed = 4 691 346 ÷ 500 = 9 382.692 → 9 383 boxes (need 1 more for remainder)
Check: 9 382 × 500 = 4 691 000; remainder 346 → need 9 383rd box.

24. [5 marks]

Answer: 720 000 [5]

Working (Algebraic method):
Let C = xx
B = 3xx
A = 2 × B = 2 × 3xx = 6xx
Sum: A + B + C = 6xx + 3xx + xx = 10xx = 1 200 000
xx = 120 000
A = 6xx = 6 × 120 000 = 720 000

Working (Unit/Bar model method):
C = 1 unit
B = 3 units
A = 6 units
Total = 10 units = 1 200 000
1 unit = 120 000
A = 6 units = 720 000

Check: A = 720 000, B = 360 000, C = 120 000. Sum = 1 200 000 ✓. A = 2×B ✓. B = 3×C ✓.

Marking notes:

  • 2 marks for correct setup (ratio/units: A:B:C = 6:3:1 or equivalent).
  • 2 marks for finding 1 unit = 120 000.
  • 1 mark for final answer A = 720 000.
  • Accept any clear method (algebra, units, bar model).

25. [5 marks]

Answer: 882 [5]

Working:
Total students = 2 450
Boys = 37×2450=1050\frac{3}{7} \times 2 450 = 1 050
Girls = 2 450 − 1 050 = 1 400

Boys with spectacles = 13×1050=350\frac{1}{3} \times 1 050 = 350
Girls with spectacles = 25×1400=560\frac{2}{5} \times 1 400 = 560

Total with spectacles = 350 + 560 = 910

Wait, let me recalculate:
37×2450=1050\frac{3}{7} \times 2450 = 1050 boys ✓
Girls = 2450 - 1050 = 1400 ✓
Boys with specs = 13×1050=350\frac{1}{3} \times 1050 = 350
Girls with specs = 25×1400=560\frac{2}{5} \times 1400 = 560
Total = 350 + 560 = 910

Correction: The answer is 910, not 882. Let me verify the question numbers again.

Actually, 2450 × 3/7 = 1050 boys. 2450 - 1050 = 1400 girls.
1/3 of 1050 = 350 boys with specs.
2/5 of 1400 = 560 girls with specs.
Total = 910.

Marking notes:

  • 1 mark for finding number of boys (1 050).
  • 1 mark for finding number of girls (1 400).
  • 1 mark for boys with spectacles (350).
  • 1 mark for girls with spectacles (560).
  • 1 mark for total (910).
  • Follow-through allowed at each step.
  • Common error: Finding fraction of total instead of fraction of boys/girls separately.
  • Common error: Using wrong denominator (e.g., 25\frac{2}{5} of total students).
