Subject: Mathematics
Level: Primary 5
Paper: Practice Paper 3 (Version 3 of 5)
Total Marks: 100

SECTION A: Multiple-Choice Questions (20 marks)

1. Answer: (4) 40 000

Explanation: In 7 245 831, the digit 4 is in the ten thousands place. Its value is $4 \times 10 000 = 40 000$.
Marking: 2 marks for correct option.

2. Answer: (2) 3 680 000

Explanation: To round to the nearest ten thousand, look at the thousands digit (8). Since 8 ≥ 5, round up. 3 678 924 → 3 680 000.
Marking: 2 marks for correct option.

3. Answer: (3) 4 050 × 1 000

Explanation: $4 050 \times 1 000 = 4 050 000$. Check others: (1) $405 \times 10 000 = 4 050 000$ — also correct! Wait, both (1) and (3) give 4 050 000. Let me recheck: $405 \times 10 000 = 4 050 000$ and $4 050 \times 1 000 = 4 050 000$. Both are mathematically correct. However, in standard form, 4 050 000 = $4.05 \times 10^6$. The question likely expects (3) as the direct representation. But (1) is also correct. Correction: The question should have only one correct answer. Let me adjust: Option (1) should be $405 \times 1000 = 405 000$ or similar. Since this is the answer key, I'll note that (3) is the intended answer as it directly shows the thousands grouping.
Marking: 2 marks for option (3).

4. Answer: (2) 36 000

Explanation: $72 \times 500 = 72 \times 5 \times 100 = 360 \times 100 = 36 000$.
Marking: 2 marks for correct option.

5. Answer: (1) 754 169

Explanation: $8 000 000 - 7 245 831 = 754 169$.
Marking: 2 marks for correct option.

6. Answer: (1) 2 345 678

Explanation: Compare digit by digit from left: all have 2 345. Then compare hundreds: 6, 6, 7, 7. The smallest hundreds digit is 6. Then compare tens: 7 vs 8. 2 345 678 has 7 tens, 2 345 687 has 8 tens. So 2 345 678 is smallest.
Marking: 2 marks for correct option.

7. Answer: (2) 50

Explanation: $8 400 \div 120 = 840 \div 12 = 70$? Wait: $8 400 \div 120 = 840 \div 12 = 70$. But 70 is not an option. Let me recalculate: $8 400 \div 120 = 70$. Options: 5, 50, 500, 5000. None is 70. Error in question. $8 400 \div 120 = 70$. Perhaps the question was $8 400 \div 168 = 50$? Or $4 200 \div 84 = 50$? For the answer key, I'll state the correct calculation gives 70, but among options, none match. Assuming a typo in the question, the intended answer might be (2) 50 if the question was $8 400 \div 168$ or similar.
Marking: 2 marks for correct calculation (70), but question has error.

8. Answer: (2) 11 730

Explanation: February production = January + 3 280 = 8 450 + 3 280 = 11 730.
Marking: 2 marks for correct option.

9. Answer: (2) 19 440

Explanation: $324 \times 60 = 324 \times 6 \times 10 = 1 944 \times 10 = 19 440$.
Marking: 2 marks for correct option.

10. Answer: (1) 385 000

Explanation: Let smaller number = $x$. Larger = $x + 480 000$. Sum: $x + (x + 480 000) = 1 250 000$. $2x = 770 000$. $x = 385 000$.
Marking: 2 marks for correct option.

---

SECTION B: Short-Answer Questions (30 marks)

11. Answer: Six million eighty thousand four hundred and five

Explanation: Group digits: 6 080 405 = 6 million, 80 thousand, 405. Write in words: "Six million eighty thousand four hundred and five".
Marking: 2 marks for correct words (1 mark if "and" missing or minor spelling error).

12. Answer: 4 508 231, 4 508 321, 4 580 231, 4 580 321

Explanation: Compare ten-thousands: all 4 5xx xxx. Compare thousands: 0 vs 8. So 4 508 xxx come before 4 580 xxx. Within 4 508: compare hundreds: 2 vs 3 → 231 < 321. Within 4 580: 231 < 321.
Marking: 2 marks for correct order (1 mark if one pair swapped).

13. Answer: 392 000

Explanation: $5 600 \times 70 = 5 600 \times 7 \times 10 = 39 200 \times 10 = 392 000$. Or $56 \times 7 = 392$, add four zeros → 392 000.
Marking: 2 marks (1 mark for correct method, 1 for correct answer).

14. Answer: 70

Explanation: $8 400 \div 120 = 840 \div 12 = 70$. (Cancel one zero from both numbers).
Marking: 2 marks (1 mark for method, 1 for answer).

15. Answer: 2 450 499

Explanation: When rounding to nearest thousand, numbers from 2 449 500 to 2 450 499 round to 2 450 000. Greatest is 2 450 499.
Marking: 2 marks (1 mark for understanding rounding range, 1 for correct answer).

16. Answer: 1 234 267

Explanation: Pattern decreases by 100 each time: 1 234 567 → 1 234 467 → 1 234 367 → 1 234 267 → 1 234 167.
Marking: 2 marks for correct number.

17. Answer: 1 000 000

Explanation: $2 500 \times 400 = 25 \times 4 \times 10 000 = 100 \times 10 000 = 1 000 000$.
Marking: 2 marks (1 mark for method, 1 for answer).

18. Answer: 9 701

Explanation: Chinese books = 3 456 + 2 789 = 6 245. Total = 3 456 + 6 245 = 9 701.
Marking: 2 marks (1 mark for Chinese books, 1 for total).

19. Answer: 14 400

Explanation: $72 \times (500 - 300) = 72 \times 200 = 14 400$. (Brackets first: 500 - 300 = 200).
Marking: 2 marks (1 mark for order of operations, 1 for answer).

20. Answer: 4 691 356

Explanation: Larger number = Smaller + Difference = 3 456 789 + 1 234 567 = 4 691 356.
Marking: 2 marks (1 mark for correct operation, 1 for correct addition).

SECTION C: Structured / Long-Answer Questions (50 marks)

21. (a) 6 733 seats (b) $973 625

Working:
(a) Empty seats = 45 678 - 38 945 = 6 733
(b) Money collected = 38 945 × $25 =$973 625
Marking: (a) 1 mark, (b) 2 marks (1 for method, 1 for answer). Total 3 marks.

22. (a) 576 apples (b) 96 bags

Working:
(a) Total apples = 12 × 48 = 576
(b) Number of bags = 576 ÷ 6 = 96
Marking: (a) 1 mark, (b) 2 marks (1 for method using (a), 1 for answer). Total 3 marks.

23. (a) 106 250 bottles (b) 212 500 bottles (c) 443 750 bottles

Working:
(a) February = 125 000 - 18 750 = 106 250
(b) March = 2 × 106 250 = 212 500
(c) Total = 125 000 + 106 250 + 212 500 = 443 750
Marking: (a) 1 mark, (b) 1 mark, (c) 2 marks (1 for method, 1 for answer). Total 4 marks.

24. (a) 2 304 girls (b) 576 girls

Working:
(a) Girls = $\frac{2}{3} \times 3 456 = 2 304$
(b) Girls with spectacles = $\frac{1}{4} \times 2 304 = 576$
Marking: (a) 1 mark, (b) 2 marks (1 for method using (a), 1 for answer). Total 3 marks.

25. (a) 410 m (b) 1 296 m²

Working:
(a) Perimeter = 2 × (120 + 85) = 2 × 205 = 410 m
(b) Outer length = 120 + 2×3 = 126 m, Outer breadth = 85 + 2×3 = 91 m
Outer area = 126 × 91 = 11 466 m²
Field area = 120 × 85 = 10 200 m²
Path area = 11 466 - 10 200 = 1 266 m²? Wait: 126×91 = 11 466. 120×85 = 10 200. Difference = 1 266. But I wrote 1 296. Let me recalculate: 126×91 = 126×90 + 126 = 11 340 + 126 = 11 466. 120×85 = 10 200. 11 466 - 10 200 = 1 266. Correction: Answer is 1 266 m².
Marking: (a) 1 mark, (b) 3 marks (1 for outer dimensions, 1 for outer area, 1 for subtraction). Total 4 marks.

26. $2 550

Working:
TV cost = $\frac{3}{5} \times 8 500 = 5 100$
Remaining = 8 500 - 5 100 = 3 400
Sound system = $\frac{1}{4} \times 3 400 = 850$
Left = 3 400 - 850 = 2 550
Alternative: Fraction left = $1 - \frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{10}$. $\frac{3}{10} \times 8 500 = 2 550$.
Marking: 4 marks (1 for TV, 1 for remaining, 1 for sound system, 1 for final answer). Or 2 marks for fraction method.

27. 2 052.5? Wait, must be whole number. Let me check: (18 765 - 2 345) ÷ 8 = 16 420 ÷ 8 = 2 052.5. Not a whole number. Error in question. Adjust: Result should be 18 761? 18 761 - 2 345 = 16 416. 16 416 ÷ 8 = 2 052. Or result 18 765, added 2 341? Let's assume the question has a typo. For answer key, I'll show the method and note the issue.

Working (assuming whole number answer intended):
Let number be $x$. $8x + 2 345 = 18 765$ → $8x = 16 420$ → $x = 2 052.5$.
Since Primary 5 expects whole numbers, the question likely has a typo. If result was 18 761, answer = 2 052. If added number was 2 341, answer = 2 053.
Marking: 3 marks for correct method (subtract then divide), even if answer not whole number.

28. (a) 6 830 pens (b) 455 pens? 6 830 ÷ 15 = 455.333... Not whole. Another typo. 15 600 - 4 850 - 3 920 = 6 830. 6 830 ÷ 15 = 455⅓. Adjust: perhaps 14 boxes? 6 830 ÷ 14 not whole. 10 boxes? 683. Let's assume 10 boxes for whole number. But question says 15. For answer key:

Working:
(a) Pens left = 15 600 - 4 850 - 3 920 = 6 830
(b) Pens per box = 6 830 ÷ 15 = 455 remainder 5 (or 455⅓)
Marking: (a) 2 marks, (b) 2 marks for method. Total 4 marks.

29. 6 kg

Working:
Let box = $b$ kg, bag = $g$ kg.
$5b + 3g = 42$ ...(1)
$2b + 5g = 27$ ...(2)
Multiply (1) by 5: $25b + 15g = 210$
Multiply (2) by 3: $6b + 15g = 81$
Subtract: $19b = 129$ → $b = 129 ÷ 19 = 6.789...$ Not whole. Another typo.
Adjust to make whole: If (1) 5b+3g=42, (2) 2b+5g=26 → 25b+15g=210, 6b+15g=78 → 19b=132 → no.
If (1) 5b+3g=41, (2) 2b+5g=27 → 25b+15g=205, 6b+15g=81 → 19b=124 → no.
If (1) 5b+3g=42, (2) 3b+5g=27 → 25b+15g=210, 9b+15g=81 → 16b=129 → no.
Try: 5b+3g=39, 2b+5g=27 → 25b+15g=195, 6b+15g=81 → 19b=114 → b=6. Yes! So Q29 should have total mass 39 kg for first equation.
For this answer key, I'll use the corrected version (39 kg) and note the discrepancy.
Working (corrected):
$5b + 3g = 39$
$2b + 5g = 27$
$25b + 15g = 195$
$6b + 15g = 81$
$19b = 114$
$b = 6$ kg
Marking: 4 marks (1 for setting up equations, 1 for elimination, 1 for solving, 1 for answer).

30. (a) 1 000 seats (b) 1 750 seats (c) $\frac{3}{10}$

Working:
(a) Lower section = $\frac{3}{5} \times 2 500 = 1 500$. Upper = 2 500 - 1 500 = 1 000.
(b) Lower occupied = $\frac{4}{5} \times 1 500 = 1 200$. Upper occupied = $\frac{3}{4} \times 1 000 = 750$. Total occupied = 1 200 + 750 = 1 950? Wait: 1 200 + 750 = 1 950. But I wrote 1 750. Let me recalculate: $\frac{4}{5}$ of 1 500 = 1 200. $\frac{3}{4}$ of 1 000 = 750. Sum = 1 950. Correction: (b) 1 950 seats.
(c) Empty = 2 500 - 1 950 = 550. Fraction = $\frac{550}{2 500} = \frac{55}{250} = \frac{11}{50}$? Wait: 550/2500 = 55/250 = 11/50. Not 3/10. 3/10 = 750/2500. So empty would be 750, occupied 1750. But we got occupied 1950. Let me recheck: Lower: 3/5 of 2500 = 1500. Upper: 1000. Lower occupied: 4/5 of 1500 = 1200. Upper occupied: 3/4 of 1000 = 750. Total occupied = 1950. Empty = 550. Fraction empty = 550/2500 = 11/50.
Correction for answer key: (b) 1 950, (c) $\frac{11}{50}$.
Marking: (a) 1 mark, (b) 2 marks (1 for each section), (c) 2 marks (1 for empty seats, 1 for simplified fraction). Total 5 marks.
