Total Marks: 80
BOOKLET A: Multiple-Choice Questions (20 marks)
1. Answer: (2) 800 000
Working: The digit 8 is in the hundred thousands place.
8 × 100 000 = 800 000
Mark: 2
2. Answer: (2) 3 460 000
Working: Look at the ten thousands digit (5) and the thousands digit (6). Since 6 ≥ 5, round up the ten thousands digit from 5 to 6.
3 456 789 → 3 460 000
Mark: 2
3. Answer: (1) 5 346 297
Working: Add the place values:
5 000 000 + 300 000 = 5 300 000
5 300 000 + 40 000 = 5 340 000
5 340 000 + 6 000 = 5 346 000
5 346 000 + 200 = 5 346 200
5 346 200 + 90 = 5 346 290
5 346 290 + 7 = 5 346 297
Mark: 2
4. Answer: (2) 36 000
Working: 72 × 500 = 72 × 5 × 100 = 360 × 100 = 36 000
Mark: 2
5. Answer: (3) 40 000
Working: 8 000 000 ÷ 200 = 8 000 000 ÷ 2 ÷ 100 = 4 000 000 ÷ 100 = 40 000
Mark: 2
6. Answer: (2) 111
Working: Order of operations (BODMAS):
12 × 6 = 72
18 ÷ 3 = 6
45 + 72 − 6 = 117 − 6 = 111
Mark: 2
7. Answer: (4) All of the above
Working:
345 × 10 000 = 3 450 000 ✓
34 500 × 100 = 3 450 000 ✓
3 450 × 1 000 = 3 450 000 ✓
All three expressions equal 3 450 000.
Mark: 2
8. Answer: (2) 2 350 000
Working: Look at the hundred thousands digit (3) and the ten thousands digit (4). Since 4 < 5, the hundred thousands digit stays 3, but wait - the number is 2 345 678. The hundred thousands digit is 3, ten thousands is 4. Since 4 < 5, round down to 2 300 000? Let me recheck.
2 345 678: hundred thousands = 3, ten thousands = 4. 4 < 5, so round down → 2 300 000.
But option (1) is 2 300 000. Let me check the options again.
Wait, the question says "nearest hundred thousand". 2 345 678 is between 2 300 000 and 2 400 000. The halfway point is 2 350 000. Since 2 345 678 < 2 350 000, it rounds to 2 300 000.
Correction: Answer should be (1) 2 300 000.
Mark: 2
9. Answer: (3) 956 000
Working: 6 000 000 − 5 000 000 − 40 000 − 3 000 − 200 − 10 − 5
= 1 000 000 − 43 215
= 956 785? Wait, let me recalculate.
6 000 000 − 5 000 000 = 1 000 000
1 000 000 − 40 000 = 960 000
960 000 − 3 000 = 957 000
957 000 − 200 = 956 800
956 800 − 10 = 956 790
956 790 − 5 = 956 785
But the options are 900 000, 950 000, 956 000, 956 215. None match 956 785.
Let me re-read the question: "6 000 000 = 5 000 000 + ________ + 40 000 + 3 000 + 200 + 10 + 5"
Missing number = 6 000 000 − 5 000 000 − 40 000 − 3 000 − 200 − 10 − 5 = 956 785
This doesn't match any option. There may be an error in the question design. The closest is (3) 956 000.
Note: Question has a flaw - correct answer 956 785 not in options.
Mark: 2
10. Answer: (1) 4 567 890
Working: Compare digit by digit from left:
All start with 4. Next digit: 5, 5, 6, 6. So (1) and (2) are smaller.
Compare (1) 4 567 890 and (2) 4 576 890: hundred thousands both 5, ten thousands: 6 vs 7. 6 < 7, so (1) is smaller.
Mark: 2
BOOKLET B: Short-Answer Questions (25 marks)
11. Answer: Seven million, eighty thousand, four hundred and five
Working: Group digits: 7 080 405 = 7 million + 80 thousand + 405
Mark: 1
12. Answer: 600 000
Working: The digit 6 is in the hundred thousands place. 6 × 100 000 = 600 000
Mark: 1
13. Answer: 6 000 000
Working: 5 999 999 rounded to nearest thousand: look at hundreds digit (9). Since 9 ≥ 5, round up thousands. 5 999 999 → 6 000 000
Mark: 1
14. Answer: 1 400 000
Working: 350 × 4 000 = 35 × 4 × 10 000 = 140 × 10 000 = 1 400 000
Mark: 1
15. Answer: 32 000
Working: 9 600 000 ÷ 300 = 9 600 000 ÷ 3 ÷ 100 = 3 200 000 ÷ 100 = 32 000
Mark: 1
16. Answer: 330
Working: BODMAS: 25 × 8 = 200; 120 ÷ 4 = 30
500 − 200 + 30 = 300 + 30 = 330
Mark: 1
17. Answer: 1 400 000
Working: Pattern decreases by 200 000 each time: 2 000 000, 1 800 000, 1 600 000, 1 400 000, 1 200 000
Mark: 1
18. Answer: 345
Working: 3 450 000 ÷ 10 000 = 345 ten thousands
Mark: 1
19. Answer: 4 213 098, 4 231 098, 4 312 098, 4 321 098
Working: Compare ten thousands digit: 2, 2, 3, 3. For the 2s: compare thousands: 1 vs 3 → 4 213 098 < 4 231 098. For the 3s: compare thousands: 1 vs 2 → 4 312 098 < 4 321 098.
Mark: 1
20. Answer: 6 499 999
Working: Numbers rounding to 6 000 000 (nearest hundred thousand) range from 5 500 000 to 6 499 999. Greatest = 6 499 999.
Mark: 1
21. Answer: 1 470 000
Working: 2 450 × 600 = 2 450 × 6 × 100 = 14 700 × 100 = 1 470 000
Mark: 2
22. Answer: 3 333 323
Working: 4 567 890 − 1 234 567 = 3 333 323
Mark: 2
23. Answer: 650
Working: Total pens = 8 × 125 = 1 000. Pens left = 1 000 − 350 = 650
Mark: 2
24. Answer: 37 900
Working: Brackets first: 4 500 + 3 200 = 7 700
7 700 × 5 = 38 500
12 000 ÷ 20 = 600
38 500 − 600 = 37 900
Mark: 2
25. Answer: 450 000
Working: Let numbers be x (larger) and y (smaller).
x + y = 1 200 000
x − y = 300 000
Add: 2x = 1 500 000 → x = 750 000
y = 1 200 000 − 750 000 = 450 000
Mark: 2
BOOKLET C: Structured / Long-Answer Questions (35 marks)
26. Answer: 7 222 empty seats; $180 550 lost revenue
Working:
Empty seats = 45 678 − 38 456 = 7 222
Lost revenue = 7 222 × 180 550
Marking: 1 mark for empty seats, 2 marks for revenue calculation
Total: 3 marks
27. Answer: 975 000 toys; $7 800 000 total sales
Working:
Monthly production = 12 500 × 26 = 325 000
3-month production = 325 000 × 3 = 975 000
Total sales = 975 000 × 7 800 000
Marking: 1 mark for monthly, 1 mark for 3-month, 1 mark for sales
Total: 3 marks
28. Answer: 11 723 489 people
Working:
City A = 2 345 678
City B = 2 345 678 + 1 234 567 = 3 580 245
City C = 3 580 245 × 2 = 7 160 490
Total = 2 345 678 + 3 580 245 + 7 160 490 = 13 086 413? Wait, let me recalculate.
2 345 678 + 1 234 567 = 3 580 245 ✓
3 580 245 × 2 = 7 160 490 ✓
2 345 678 + 3 580 245 = 5 925 923
5 925 923 + 7 160 490 = 13 086 413
Correction: Total = 13 086 413
Marking: 1 mark for City B, 1 mark for City C, 1 mark for total
Total: 3 marks
29. Answer: Perimeter = 4 100 m; Total distance = 20.5 km
Working:
Perimeter = 2 × (1 250 + 800) = 2 × 2 050 = 4 100 m
5 rounds = 4 100 × 5 = 20 500 m = 20.5 km
Marking: 1 mark for perimeter, 1 mark for distance in m, 1 mark for conversion to km
Total: 3 marks
30. Answer: 450 000 brochures per month
Working:
Distributed in Jan & Feb = 1 250 000 + 1 500 000 = 2 750 000
Remaining = 5 000 000 − 2 750 000 = 2 250 000
Monthly (Mar–Jul, 5 months) = 2 250 000 ÷ 5 = 450 000
Marking: 1 mark for Jan+Feb total, 1 mark for remaining, 1 mark for monthly
Total: 3 marks
31. Answer: $11 250
Working:
Exercise books needed = 1 250 × 4 = 5 000
Packs needed = 5 000 ÷ 10 = 500 packs
Cost of exercise books = 500 × 6 000
Pens needed = 1 250 × 3 = 3 750
Boxes needed = 3 750 ÷ 12 = 312.5 → 313 boxes (must round up)
Cost of pens = 313 × 5 634
Total cost = 5 634 = $11 634
Wait, let me recalculate: 3 750 ÷ 12 = 312 remainder 6, so 313 boxes needed.
313 × 18 = 313 × 20 − 313 × 2 = 6 260 − 626 = 5 634. Yes.
Total = 6 000 + 5 634 = 11 634.
Marking: 1 mark for exercise books calculation, 1 mark for pens calculation (including rounding up), 1 mark for each cost, 1 mark for total
Total: 4 marks
32. Answer: 10 hours 42 minutes (or 10 h 42 min)
Working:
Net outflow per minute = 250 − 180 = 70 litres/min
Time to empty = 45 000 ÷ 70 = 642.857... minutes
642 minutes = 10 hours 42 minutes (since 10 × 60 = 600, remainder 42)
0.857... × 60 ≈ 51.4 seconds, but answer in hours and minutes → 10 h 42 min
Marking: 1 mark for net rate, 1 mark for time in minutes, 1 mark for conversion to hours/min, 1 mark for final answer
Total: 4 marks
33. Answer: Box = 80 kg; Crate = 120 kg
Working:
Let box = b kg, crate = c kg
8b + 5c = 1 240 (Equation 1)
3b = 2c → c = 1.5b (Equation 2)
Substitute (2) into (1):
8b + 5(1.5b) = 1 240
8b + 7.5b = 1 240
15.5b = 1 240
b = 1 240 ÷ 15.5 = 80 kg
c = 1.5 × 80 = 120 kg
Check: 8(80) + 5(120) = 640 + 600 = 1 240 ✓
Marking: 1 mark for setting up equations, 1 mark for substitution, 1 mark for box mass, 1 mark for crate mass
Total: 4 marks
34. Answer: 15 000 apples
Working:
Monday = 2 500
Tuesday = 2 500 + 1 800 = 4 300
Mon + Tue = 2 500 + 4 300 = 6 800
Wednesday = 6 800 ÷ 2 = 3 400
Total sold = 2 500 + 4 300 + 3 400 = 10 200
Initial = 10 200 + 3 200 = 13 400? Wait.
Let me recalculate: 2 500 + 4 300 = 6 800. Half = 3 400. Total sold = 6 800 + 3 400 = 10 200. Left = 3 200. Initial = 10 200 + 3 200 = 13 400.
But the numbers seem small for P5. Let me check the question again.
"2 500 apples on Monday... 1 800 more on Tuesday... half the total of Mon and Tue on Wednesday... 3 200 left"
Yes, 13 400. But this seems like a P3/4 question. For P5, numbers should be larger. However, the question is as written.
Answer: 13 400 apples
Marking: 1 mark for Tuesday, 1 mark for Wednesday, 1 mark for total sold, 1 mark for initial
Total: 4 marks
35. Answer: 2 000
Working:
Let original number = n
((n × 12) + 3 600) ÷ 6 − 400 = 5 000
((12n + 3 600) ÷ 6) = 5 400
12n + 3 600 = 5 400 × 6 = 32 400
12n = 32 400 − 3 600 = 28 800
n = 28 800 ÷ 12 = 2 400? Wait.
28 800 ÷ 12 = 2 400.
Let me verify: 2 400 × 12 = 28 800. + 3 600 = 32 400. ÷ 6 = 5 400. − 400 = 5 000. ✓
Answer: 2 400
Marking: 1 mark for reverse step 1 (+400), 1 mark for reverse step 2 (×6), 1 mark for reverse step 3 (−3 600), 1 mark for final division
Total: 4 marks
