Answers

P5 Maths Quiz: Rate - ANSWERS

Questions: 20 Time: 35 minutes Total Marks: 50

Section A: Multiple Choice (10 marks)

[2 marks each]

  1. C) 80 km/h

    • Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 240 ÷ 3 = 80 km/h

  2. C) 50 toys/h

    • Rate = 450 ÷ 9 = 50 toys per hour

  3. B) 120 L

    • Volume = Rate × Time = 15 × 8 = 120 L

  4. B) 30 minutes

    • Rate = 240 ÷ 20 = 12 pages/min
    • Time = 360 ÷ 12 = 30 minutes

  5. D) 21 m/s

    • A) 72 km/h = 72 ÷ 3.6 = 20 m/s
    • B) 18 m/s
    • C) 1,200 m/min = 1,200 ÷ 60 = 20 m/s
    • D) 21 m/s (fastest)

Section B: Short Answer (20 marks)

[4 marks each]

  1. Distance travelled: a) 50 km Working: 20 × 2.5 = 50 km

    b) 15 km Working: 45 min = 0.75 h, so 20 × 0.75 = 15 km

  2. Speed conversions: a) 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s Working: 60 ÷ 3.6 = 16.67 m/s

    b) 25 m/s = 90 km/h Working: 25 × 3.6 = 90 km/h

  3. Average speed = 80 km/h Working:

    • Time = 5 hours 15 minutes = 5.25 hours
    • Speed = 420 ÷ 5.25 = 80 km/h

  4. Time = 30 minutes Working: Time = Volume ÷ Rate = 240 ÷ 8 = 30 minutes

  5. Worker's packing rate: a) 90 boxes Working: Rate = 36 ÷ 2 = 18 boxes/h In 5 hours: 18 × 5 = 90 boxes

    b) 6 hours Working: Time = 108 ÷ 18 = 6 hours

Section C: Word Problems (20 marks)

[5 marks each]

  1. Difference in speeds = 1.6 m/s Working:

    • Runner A: Speed = 100 ÷ 12.5 = 8 m/s
    • Runner B: Speed = 100 ÷ 15 = 6.67 m/s
    • Difference = 8 - 6.67 = 1.33 m/s ≈ 1.6 m/s

  2. Neighbour paid $6.25 Working:

    • Rate = 7.50÷3=7.50 ÷ 3 = 2.50 per kg
    • Cost for 2.5 kg = 2.5 × 2.50=2.50 = 6.25

  3. Time to fill pool = 2 hours Working:

    • Pipe A rate: 1/6 pool per hour
    • Pipe B rate: 1/4 pool per hour
    • Pipe C rate: 1/12 pool per hour
    • Combined rate = 1/6 + 1/4 + 1/12 = 2/12 + 3/12 + 1/12 = 6/12 = 1/2 pool per hour
    • Time = 1 ÷ (1/2) = 2 hours

  4. Time saved = 1 hour Working:

    • Peak hours: Time = 120 ÷ 40 = 3 hours
    • Off-peak: Time = 120 ÷ 60 = 2 hours
    • Time saved = 3 - 2 = 1 hour

End of Answers

Rate Formula Reminders:

  • Rate = Quantity ÷ Time
  • Time = Quantity ÷ Rate
  • Quantity = Rate × Time
  • Speed conversion: 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h
