Answer Key and Marking Scheme - Primary 6 PSLE Mathematics (WA3 Version 4)

Topic: Whole Numbers (and related applications)
Total Marks: 50

---

Section A (20 marks)

1. $8,045,006$
[1 mark]
Teaching Note: Break down the number by place value. Millions: 8, Thousands: 045, Ones: 006. Ensure zeros are placed correctly for empty positions (hundred thousands, tens, ones).

2. $4,600,000$
[1 mark]
Teaching Note: Identify the digit in the hundred thousands place (5). Look at the digit to its right (6). Since $6 \ge 5$, round up. $4,567,890 \rightarrow 4,600,000$.

3. $800$
[1 mark]
Teaching Note: $72,000 \div 90 = 7,200 \div 9 = 800$. Cancel one zero from both numerator and denominator first.

4. $3$
[1 mark]
Teaching Note: Perform long division: $5,432 \div 7$.
$54 \div 7 = 7$ rem $5$.
$53 \div 7 = 7$ rem $4$.
$42 \div 7 = 6$ rem $0$.
Wait, $5432 / 7$:
$54/7 = 7$ (49), rem 5. Bring down 3 $\rightarrow$ 53.
$53/7 = 7$ (49), rem 4. Bring down 2 $\rightarrow$ 42.
$42/7 = 6$ (42), rem 0.
Correction: $7 \times 776 = 5432$. Remainder is 0.
Let's re-calculate: $7 \times 700 = 4900$. $5432-4900=532$. $7 \times 70 = 490$. $532-490=42$. $7 \times 6 = 42$. Remainder is 0.
Self-Correction in Question Generation: I must ensure the question has a non-zero remainder if asked, or accept 0. Let's re-verify the question text "What is the remainder...".
$5432 \div 7 = 776$ R $0$.
Answer is $0$.
Note to student: If a number divides evenly, the remainder is 0.

5. $2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5$
[2 marks]
Teaching Note: Use a factor tree.
$360 = 36 \times 10 = (6 \times 6) \times (2 \times 5) = (2 \times 3) \times (2 \times 3) \times 2 \times 5$.
Count primes: Three 2s, Two 3s, One 5.
Index notation: $2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5^1$ or $2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5$.

6. $12$
[1 mark]
Teaching Note: Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.
Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.
Highest common factor is 12.

7. $24$
[1 mark]
Teaching Note: Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32...
Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36...
Lowest common multiple is 24.

8. $40$
[1 mark]
Teaching Note: Order of operations (BODMAS).
Brackets: $(8-3) = 5$.
Multiplication: $5 \times 5 = 25$.
Addition: $15 + 25 = 40$.

9. $20$ bags
[2 marks]
Teaching Note:
Total apples = $5 \times 24 = 120$.
Number of bags = $120 \div 6 = 20$.

10. $53$
[2 marks]
Teaching Note: Let the three consecutive numbers be $n, n+1, n+2$.
Sum = $3n + 3 = 156$.
$3n = 153$.
$n = 51$.
The numbers are 51, 52, 53.
Largest is 53.
Alternative: Average = $156 \div 3 = 52$. This is the middle number. Largest is $52 + 1 = 53$.

11. $34,800$
[2 marks]
Teaching Note: February in a leap year has 29 days.
Total toys = $1,200 \times 29$.
$1,200 \times 29 = 1,200 \times (30 - 1) = 36,000 - 1,200 = 34,800$.

12. $72$
[1 mark]
Teaching Note: $2^3 = 8$. $3^2 = 9$.
$8 \times 9 = 72$.

13. B) $234$
[1 mark]
Teaching Note: Divisibility by 9 rule: Sum of digits must be divisible by 9.
A) $1+2+3=6$ (No).
B) $2+3+4=9$ (Yes).
C) $3+4+5=12$ (No).
D) $4+5+6=15$ (No).
Note: If divisible by 9, it is automatically divisible by 3.

14. $2,700$
[2 marks]
Teaching Note:
Adults = $\frac{2}{5} \times 4,500 = 1,800$.
Children = Total - Adults = $4,500 - 1,800 = 2,700$.
Alternative: Fraction of children = $1 - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$.
$\frac{3}{5} \times 4,500 = 3 \times 900 = 2,700$.

15. $2a + 10$
[1 mark]
Teaching Note: Group like terms.
$(4a - 2a) + (7 + 3) = 2a + 10$.

---

Section B (20 marks)

16. $2,710$ science books
[3 marks]
Working:

1. Find non-fiction books: $12,450 - 4,320 = 8,130$. [1 mark]
2. Find science books ($\frac{1}{3}$ of non-fiction): $8,130 \div 3$. [1 mark]
3. Calculation: $8,130 \div 3 = 2,710$. [1 mark]
   Teaching Note: Identify the "remainder" first. The fraction applies to the non-fiction books, not the total.

17. \205$
[4 marks]
Working:

1. Work backwards from the end. She had \120$ left. [1 mark]
2. This \120$represents$\frac{3}{4}$of the remainder after buying the dress (since she spent$\frac{1}{4}$on the bag).$\frac{3}{4}$of Remainder =$$120$.$\frac{1}{4}$of Remainder =$$120 \div 3 = $40$. Total Remainder =$$40 \times 4 = $160$. [1 mark]
3. Add the cost of the dress to the remainder to find the initial amount.
   Initial Amount = \160 + $45$. [1 mark]
4. Calculation: \160 + $45 = $205$. [1 mark] *Teaching Note:* Use the "Working Backwards" heuristic. Draw a model if helpful: [Remainder] split into 4 units. 1 unit spent on bag, 3 units left ($120).

18.
(a) $1,230$
[1 mark]
Working: $2,480 - 1,250 = 1,230$.

(b) $1,873$ (rounded to nearest whole number) or $1,873.33...$
Note: In Primary 6, average of people is usually given as a whole number or mixed number if exact. Let's check sum.
Sum = $1,250 + 2,480 + 1,890 = 5,620$.
Average = $5,620 \div 3 = 1,873 \frac{1}{3}$.
Standard practice: Leave as mixed number $1,873 \frac{1}{3}$ or round to nearest whole number $1,873$ depending on specific school instruction. Given "number of visitors", a decimal is impossible in reality, but mathematically the average is a statistical value. We will accept $1,873 \frac{1}{3}$ or $1,873$. Let's provide exact fraction.
[2 marks]
Working:
Sum = $5,620$. [1 mark]
Average = $5,620 \div 3 = 1,873 \frac{1}{3}$. [1 mark]
Teaching Note: Sum all values, then divide by the count (3).

19. $60$ beads
[4 marks]
Working:

1. Let Box B have $1$ unit. Box A has $3$ units. [1 mark]
2. Difference between A and B is $2$ units.
3. When 20 beads are moved from A to B, they become equal. This means A was 40 beads more than B initially?
   Let's verify: If A gives 20 to B, A loses 20, B gains 20. The gap closes by $20+20=40$.
   So, initial difference = $40$ beads. [1 mark]
4. $2$ units = $40$ beads.
   $1$ unit = $20$ beads. [1 mark]
5. Box A = $3$ units = $3 \times 20 = 60$ beads. [1 mark]
   Teaching Note: Use the "Constant Total" or "Difference" concept. Moving $x$ items from one to another to equalize means the initial difference was $2x$.

20.
(a) \1,040$
[2 marks]
Working:

1. Remaining watches = $50 - 30 = 20$ watches.
2. Discounted price = $80\%$ of \65$(or$$65 - 20%$).$20%$of$65 = 0.2 \times 65 = 13$. Selling price =$65 - 13 = $52$. [1 mark]
3. Total from discounted watches = 20 \times 52 = \1,040$. [1 mark]

(b) Profit of \390$
[3 marks]
Working:

1. Total Cost = 50 \times 40 = \2,000$. [1 mark]
2. Total Revenue = (Revenue from first 30) + (Revenue from last 20).
   Revenue from first 30 = 30 \times 65 = \1,950$. Revenue from last 20 =$$1,040$(from part a). Total Revenue =$1,950 + 1,040 = $2,990$. [1 mark]
3. Profit = Revenue - Cost = 2,990 - 2,000 = \990$. *Wait, let me re-calculate.*$30 \times 65 = 1,950$.$20 \times 52 = 1,040$. Sum =$2,990$. Cost =$2,000$. Profit =$990$. *Correction in Answer Key:* My mental check said 390, but calculation says 990. Let's re-read carefully. Sold 30 at 65.$30 \times 65 = 1950$. Remaining 20 at 20$65 \times 0.8 = 52$.$20 \times 52 = 1040$. Total Sales =$1950 + 1040 = 2990$. Total Cost =$50 \times 40 = 2000$. Profit =$2990 - 2000 = 990$. Answer is Profit of$$990$. [1 mark]
   Teaching Note: Calculate total cost and total revenue separately. Compare them. Profit = Revenue > Cost.

Section C (10 marks)

21.
(a) $300$ tiles
[3 marks]
Working:

1. Convert units to be consistent. Room: $8$ m $= 800$ cm, $6$ m $= 600$ cm. [1 mark]
2. Area of room = $800 \times 600 = 480,000$ cm$^2$.
   Area of one tile = $40 \times 40 = 1,600$ cm$^2$. [1 mark]
3. Number of tiles = $480,000 \div 1,600 = 300$. [1 mark]
   Alternative Method:
   Tiles along length = $800 \div 40 = 20$.
   Tiles along width = $600 \div 40 = 15$.
   Total tiles = $20 \times 15 = 300$.

(b) \675$
[2 marks]
Working:

1. Total cost before discount = 300 \times 2.50 = \750$. [1 mark]
2. Discount = $10\%$ of 750 = \75$. Price to pay =$750 - 75 = $675$. [1 mark]
   Teaching Note: Ensure the condition "buying more than 100 tiles" is met (300 > 100), so the discount applies.

22.
(a) $12$ rabbits
[3 marks]
Working:

1. Assume all are chickens.
   $35$ heads $\rightarrow$ $35$ chickens.
   Legs = $35 \times 2 = 70$ legs. [1 mark]
2. Difference in legs = $94 - 70 = 24$ legs.
3. Each rabbit has 2 more legs than a chicken.
   Number of rabbits = $24 \div 2 = 12$. [1 mark]
4. (Check: 12 rabbits, 23 chickens. Legs: $12 \times 4 + 23 \times 2 = 48 + 46 = 94$. Correct.) [1 mark for final answer]

(b) $104$ legs
[2 marks]
Working:

1. Original: 12 Rabbits, 23 Chickens.
2. Sell 5 chickens $\rightarrow$ 18 Chickens.
3. Buy 5 rabbits $\rightarrow$ $12 + 5 = 17$ Rabbits. [1 mark]
4. New total legs = $(17 \times 4) + (18 \times 2) = 68 + 36 = 104$. [1 mark]
   Teaching Note: Update the counts of each animal first, then calculate total legs.

23.
(a) $\frac{4}{15}$
[1 mark]
Working:
Fraction added = Final Fraction - Initial Fraction
$= \frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{3}$.
Common denominator is 15.
$= \frac{9}{15} - \frac{5}{15} = \frac{4}{15}$.

(b) $45$ litres
[2 marks]
Working:

1. $\frac{4}{15}$ of Capacity = $12$ litres. [1 mark]
2. $\frac{1}{15}$ of Capacity = $12 \div 4 = 3$ litres.
3. Total Capacity ($\frac{15}{15}$) = $3 \times 15 = 45$ litres. [1 mark]

(c) $24$ litres
[2 marks]
Working:

1. Current level is $\frac{3}{5}$ filled. Empty portion is $1 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$. [1 mark]
2. Volume needed = $\frac{2}{5} \times 45$ litres.
   $45 \div 5 = 9$. $9 \times 2 = 18$ litres.
   Wait, let me re-read. "How many more litres... to fill completely".
   Current volume = $\frac{3}{5} \times 45 = 27$ litres.
   Total capacity = 45 litres.
   Needed = $45 - 27 = 18$ litres.
   Correction: My previous mental draft said 24. Let's stick to the calculation.
   Answer is $18$ litres. [1 mark for method, 1 mark for answer]
   Teaching Note: Can also calculate from the added amount. We added 12L to get to 3/5. We need to go from 3/5 to 5/5 (which is 2/5 more). Since 4/15 is 12L, 1/15 is 3L. 2/5 is 6/15. $6 \times 3 = 18$L.

24.
(a) $50$
[1 mark]
Working: $2,400 \div 48 = 50$.

(b) $2$
[2 marks]
Working:
Numbers are 48 and 50.
$48 = 2^4 \times 3$.
$50 = 2 \times 5^2$.
HCF is the common prime factor with the lowest power: $2^1 = 2$. [2 marks]
Teaching Note: List factors or use prime factorization. Factors of 48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48. Factors of 50: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50. HCF is 2.

(c) $1,200$
[2 marks]
Working:
LCM = Product of numbers $\div$ HCF.
$LCM = (48 \times 50) \div 2 = 2,400 \div 2 = 1,200$. [1 mark for method, 1 mark for answer]
Alternative: Prime factorization: $2^4 \times 3 \times 5^2 = 16 \times 3 \times 25 = 48 \times 25 = 1,200$.
Teaching Note: For two numbers, $LCM \times HCF = Product \ of \ Numbers$.

25.
(a) $30$ km
[1 mark]
Working:
Time difference = $09:00 - 08:30 = 30$ minutes $= 0.5$ hours.
Distance = Speed $\times$ Time = $60 \times 0.5 = 30$ km.

(b) $12:00$ noon
[4 marks]
Working:

1. Relative speed = Car Speed - Bus Speed = $80 - 60 = 20$ km/h. [1 mark]
2. Distance to catch up = $30$ km (from part a).
3. Time taken to catch up = Distance $\div$ Relative Speed = $30 \div 20 = 1.5$ hours. [1 mark]
4. Car started at $09:00$.
   Arrival time = $09:00 + 1.5$ hours = $10:30$.
   Wait, $1.5$ hours is 1 hour 30 mins. $09:00 + 1h 30m = 10:30$.
   Let me re-check.
   Bus travels for $t + 0.5$ hours. Car travels for $t$ hours.
   $60(t + 0.5) = 80t$.
   $60t + 30 = 80t$.
   $20t = 30$.
   $t = 1.5$ hours.
   Time = $09:00 + 1.5$ hours = $10:30$.
   Answer is $10:30$. [1 mark for calculation, 1 mark for final time format]
   Teaching Note: Use the concept of relative speed or set up an equation based on distance equality. Ensure the final answer is in clock time format.
