Answer Key - Mathematics Primary 6 PSLE (WA2 Version 3)

Section A

1. 4,030,005
Reasoning:

• Millions place: 4
• Hundred thousands to thousands: 030 (thirty thousand)
• Hundreds to ones: 005 (five)
• Combine: 4,030,005.

2. 4,600,000
Reasoning:

• The digit in the hundred thousands place is 5.
• The digit to its right (ten thousands) is 6.
• Since $6 \ge 5$, round up the hundred thousands digit.
• $4,567,890 \approx 4,600,000$.

3. 21
Reasoning:

• Follow order of operations (BODMAS): Division and Multiplication before Addition.
• $72 \div 8 = 9$
• $4 \times 3 = 12$
• $9 + 12 = 21$.

4. 5
Reasoning:

• Sum of digits of 5,432 is $5+4+3+2 = 14$.
• $14 \div 9 = 1$ remainder $5$.
• Alternatively, $5432 \div 9 = 603$ remainder $5$.

5. $2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5$
Reasoning:

• $360 = 36 \times 10$
• $36 = 6 \times 6 = 2 \times 3 \times 2 \times 3 = 2^2 \times 3^2$
• $10 = 2 \times 5$
• Combine: $2^2 \times 3^2 \times 2 \times 5 = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5$.

6. 6
Reasoning:

• Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
• Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
• Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 6
• Highest Common Factor is 6.

7. 24
Reasoning:

• Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36...
• Check 24: Divisible by 6? Yes ($24 \div 6 = 4$). Divisible by 8? Yes ($24 \div 8 = 3$).
• LCM is 24.

8. 108
Reasoning:

• A number divisible by 4 and 9 must be divisible by their LCM.
• LCM of 4 and 9 is 36 (since they are coprime).
• Multiples of 36: 36, 72, 108, 144...
• The smallest multiple greater than 100 is 108.

9. 81
Reasoning:

• $15^2 = 225$
• $12^2 = 144$
• $225 - 144 = 81$.
• Alternatively, use difference of squares: $(15-12)(15+12) = 3 \times 27 = 81$.

10. 125
Reasoning:

• If $\sqrt[3]{x} = 5$, then $x = 5^3$.
• $5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125$.

11. 20 packets
Reasoning:

• Total mass of rice = $4 \times 2.5 \text{ kg} = 10 \text{ kg}$.
• Number of packets = $10 \text{ kg} \div 0.5 \text{ kg/packet}$.
• $10 \div 0.5 = 20$.

12. $\frac{17}{20}$
Reasoning:

• Common denominator for 4, 5, 2 is 20.
• $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}$
• $\frac{2}{5} = \frac{8}{20}$
• $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{10}{20}$
• $\frac{15}{20} + \frac{8}{20} - \frac{10}{20} = \frac{13}{20}$.
• Correction in calculation: $15 + 8 = 23$. $23 - 10 = 13$.
• Answer is $\frac{13}{20}$.
  (Self-Correction during generation: The question asked for mixed number if improper, but 13/20 is proper. Let's re-verify the question numbers. Q12: 3/4 + 2/5 - 1/2. 15/20 + 8/20 - 10/20 = 13/20. It is a proper fraction. The instruction "Give your answer as a mixed number" applies if it is improper. Since it is proper, just the fraction is fine. Wait, let me double check the arithmetic. 3/4 = 0.75. 2/5 = 0.4. 1/2 = 0.5. 0.75 + 0.4 - 0.5 = 0.65. 0.65 = 65/100 = 13/20. Correct.)
  Answer: $\frac{13}{20}$

13. 48 girls
Reasoning:

• Total pupils = 120.
• Boys = $\frac{2}{5} \times 120 = 48$.
• Girls = $120 - 48 = 72$.
• Girls wearing spectacles = $\frac{1}{3} \times 72 = 24$.
• Girls NOT wearing spectacles = $72 - 24 = 48$.
• Alternatively, fraction of girls not wearing spectacles = $\frac{2}{3}$.
• $\frac{2}{3} \times 72 = 48$.

14. 36 litres
Reasoning:

• Fraction added = $\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{4}$.
• Common denominator 12: $\frac{8}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{5}{12}$.
• $\frac{5}{12}$ of Capacity = 15 litres.
• 1 unit = $15 \div 5 = 3$ litres.
• Capacity (12 units) = $12 \times 3 = 36$ litres.

15. $300
Reasoning:

• Spent $\frac{1}{3}$ on dress. Remainder = $\frac{2}{3}$.
• Spent $\frac{1}{4}$ of remainder on shoes.
• Fraction spent on shoes = $\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}$.
• Total fraction spent = $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$.
• Fraction left = $1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$.
• $\frac{1}{2}$ of Money = $150.
• Total Money = 150 \times 2 = \300$.
• Alternative Method (Backward):
  • Left with $150, which is $\frac{3}{4}$ of the remainder after buying the dress.
  • Remainder after dress = $150 \div \frac{3}{4} = 150 \times \frac{4}{3} = 200$.
  • $200 is $\frac{2}{3}$ of the original money.
  • Original money = $200 \div \frac{2}{3} = 200 \times \frac{3}{2} = 300$.

Section B

16.
(a) $\frac{4}{15}$
(b) 450 apples

Working:
Let total apples be $1$ unit.
Sold in morning: $\frac{2}{5}$.
Remainder after morning: $1 - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$.
Sold in afternoon: $\frac{1}{3}$ of remainder = $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$.
Total sold: $\frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$.
Fraction left: $1 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$.
Wait, let me re-read carefully. "Sold 1/3 of the remainder".
Remainder after morning = $\frac{3}{5}$.
Sold afternoon = $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$.
Left after afternoon = Remainder after morning - Sold afternoon = $\frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$.
So fraction left is $\frac{2}{5}$.
Given 120 apples left.
$\frac{2}{5} \text{ of Total} = 120$.
1 unit = $120 \div 2 = 60$.
Total (5 units) = $60 \times 5 = 300$.

Re-evaluating the question logic vs standard templates.
Often these questions result in trickier fractions. Let's check the calculation again.
Morning: Sold 2/5. Left 3/5.
Afternoon: Sold 1/3 of (3/5) = 1/5.
Left: 3/5 - 1/5 = 2/5.
2/5 = 120.
1/5 = 60.
Total = 300.

Let's check if I made an error in the question design or solution.
If the question meant "1/3 of the original remainder", it's the same.
Let's try a different interpretation: Maybe the remainder changes? No, "remainder" usually refers to what is left at that stage.
Let's stick to the calculation:
(a) Fraction left = $\frac{2}{5}$.
(b) Total = 300.

Self-Correction: I will provide the answer based on the strict mathematical interpretation.
(a) $\frac{2}{5}$
(b) 300

Wait, looking at Q16 in the prompt generation, I wrote "120 apples left".
Let's double check if I want a harder fraction.
If I change the afternoon sale to "1/4 of the remainder":
Remainder after morning = 3/5.
Sold afternoon = 1/4 * 3/5 = 3/20.
Left = 3/5 - 3/20 = 12/20 - 3/20 = 9/20.
9/20 = 120 -> 1 unit = 120/9 (not integer). Bad numbers.

Let's stick to the 1/3 remainder.
Fraction left = 2/5.
2/5 * Total = 120.
Total = 300.

Answer:
(a) $\frac{2}{5}$
(b) 300

17.
(a) 50 beads
(b) 40 beads

Working:
Let $A$ be beads in Box A, $B$ be beads in Box B.

Case 1: Move 20 from A to B.
$A' = A - 20$
$B' = B + 20$
$B' = 2 A'$
$B + 20 = 2(A - 20)$
$B + 20 = 2A - 40$
$B = 2A - 60$ --- (Equation 1)

Case 2: Move 10 from B to A.
$A'' = A + 10$
$B'' = B - 10$
$A'' = B'' + 10$
$A + 10 = (B - 10) + 10$
$A + 10 = B$
$B = A + 10$ --- (Equation 2)

Substitute (2) into (1):
$A + 10 = 2A - 60$
$10 + 60 = 2A - A$
$A = 70$

Find B:
$B = 70 + 10 = 80$

Check:
If A=70, B=80.
Move 20 from A to B: A=50, B=100. B is twice A (100 = 2*50). Correct.
Move 10 from B to A: A=80, B=70. A is 10 more than B (80 = 70+10). Correct.

Answer:
(a) 70
(b) 80

(Note: My initial quick guess in the thought process was wrong, the algebraic solution is robust.)

18.
(a) 1,400 visitors
(b) 2,520 visitors

Working:
(a) Average of 5 days = 1,600.
Total visitors (Mon-Fri) = $1,600 \times 5 = 8,000$.
Sum of known days = $1,200 + 1,500 + 1,800 + 2,100 = 6,600$.
Wednesday = $8,000 - 6,600 = 1,400$.

(b) Friday visitors = 2,100.
Saturday = 20% more than Friday.
Increase = $20\% \times 2,100 = 0.2 \times 2,100 = 420$.
Saturday = $2,100 + 420 = 2,520$.

Answer:
(a) 1,400
(b) 2,520

19.
(a) 10,000 cm³ (or 10 litres)
(b) 10 minutes

Working:
(a) Dimensions: $40 \times 25 \times 30$ cm.
Volume of tank = $40 \times 25 \times 30 = 30,000 \text{ cm}^3$.
Filled $\frac{1}{3}$.
Volume of water = $\frac{1}{3} \times 30,000 = 10,000 \text{ cm}^3$.
($1,000 \text{ cm}^3 = 1 \text{ litre}$, so 10 litres).

(b) Volume to fill = Total Volume - Initial Volume
$= 30,000 - 10,000 = 20,000 \text{ cm}^3$.
Convert to litres: $20,000 \text{ cm}^3 = 20 \text{ litres}$.
Rate = 2 litres/min.
Time = $\frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Rate}} = \frac{20}{2} = 10$ minutes.

Answer:
(a) 10,000 cm³
(b) 10 minutes

20.
(a) 15 shirts
(b) 10 trousers

Working:
Ratio Shirts : Trousers = $3 : 2$.
Let number of shirts = $3u$.
Let number of trousers = $2u$.
Cost of shirts = $3u \times 20 = 60u$.
Cost of trousers = $2u \times 35 = 70u$.
Total cost = $60u + 70u = 130u$.
Given Total cost = $650.
$130u = 650$.
$u = 650 \div 130 = 5$.

Number of shirts = $3u = 3 \times 5 = 15$.
Number of trousers = $2u = 2 \times 5 = 10$.

Check:
15 shirts @ $20 = $300.
10 trousers @ $35 = $350.
Total = $650. Correct.

Answer:
(a) 15
(b) 10
