Answers

Primary 6 PSLE Mathematics Quiz - Measurement (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 50

Section A: Multiple-Choice Questions (10 marks)

1. Express 3.045 km in metres. [2]

Answer: (2) 3045 m

Working:

1 km = 1000 m
3.045 km = 3.045 × 1000 m = 3045 m

Key concept: To convert km to m, multiply by 1000 (move decimal point 3 places to the right).

2. A rectangular tank measures 40 cm by 30 cm by 25 cm. It is filled with water to a height of 18 cm. What is the volume of water in the tank? [2]

Answer: (2) 21 600 cm³

Working:

Volume of water = length × breadth × height of water
= 40 cm × 30 cm × 18 cm
= 21 600 cm³

Key concept: Volume of water in a tank = base area × water height, not the full tank height.

3. The mass of a durian is 2.4 kg. The mass of a watermelon is 350 g heavier than the durian. What is the total mass of the two fruits? [2]

Answer: (3) 5.15 kg

Working:

Mass of durian = 2.4 kg = 2400 g
Mass of watermelon = 2400 g + 350 g = 2750 g = 2.75 kg
Total mass = 2.4 kg + 2.75 kg = 5.15 kg

Key concept: Convert all masses to the same unit before adding. 350 g = 0.35 kg.

4. A cube has a volume of 512 cm³. What is the length of one edge of the cube? [2]

Answer: (3) 8 cm

Working:

Volume of cube = edge³
edge = ∛512 = 8 cm
Check: 8 × 8 × 8 = 512 ✓

Key concept: For a cube, edge length = cube root of volume.

5. Container A contains 2.5 ℓ of water. Container B contains 1800 mℓ of water. How much water must be poured from Container A to Container B so that both containers have the same amount of water? [2]

Answer: (1) 350 mℓ

Working:

Container A = 2.5 ℓ = 2500 mℓ
Container B = 1800 mℓ
Total water = 2500 + 1800 = 4300 mℓ
Equal amount in each = 4300 ÷ 2 = 2150 mℓ
Water to pour from A to B = 2150 - 1800 = 350 mℓ (or 2500 - 2150 = 350 mℓ)

Key concept: Find the average (equal share), then find the difference from the current amount.

Section B: Short-Answer Questions (20 marks)

6. Convert 4 km 35 m to metres. [2]

Answer: 4035 m

Working:

4 km = 4 × 1000 m = 4000 m
4 km 35 m = 4000 m + 35 m = 4035 m

Marking: 1 mark for correct conversion of km to m, 1 mark for correct addition and final answer.

7. A piece of ribbon is 5.6 m long. It is cut into 8 equal pieces. What is the length of each piece in centimetres? [2]

Answer: 70 cm

Working:

Length of each piece in metres = 5.6 m ÷ 8 = 0.7 m
Convert to cm: 0.7 m = 0.7 × 100 cm = 70 cm
Alternatively: 5.6 m = 560 cm, 560 cm ÷ 8 = 70 cm

Marking: 1 mark for correct division, 1 mark for correct unit conversion and final answer.

8. The mass of a box of chocolates is 1.2 kg. The mass of the empty box is 150 g. What is the mass of the chocolates alone? Give your answer in kilograms. [2]

Answer: 1.05 kg

Working:

Mass of box with chocolates = 1.2 kg = 1200 g
Mass of empty box = 150 g
Mass of chocolates = 1200 g - 150 g = 1050 g = 1.05 kg

Marking: 1 mark for correct subtraction (with consistent units), 1 mark for correct answer in kg.

9. A rectangular container has a base area of 120 cm². It contains 1.44 ℓ of water. What is the height of the water level in the container? [2]

Answer: 12 cm

Working:

Volume of water = 1.44 ℓ = 1440 cm³ (since 1 ℓ = 1000 cm³)
Height = Volume ÷ Base area = 1440 cm³ ÷ 120 cm² = 12 cm

Marking: 1 mark for correct volume conversion (1.44 ℓ = 1440 cm³), 1 mark for correct division and answer with unit.

10. Mr Tan bought 3.5 kg of rice. He used 450 g of rice each day for 4 days. How much rice had he left? Give your answer in kilograms. [2]

Answer: 1.7 kg

Working:

Rice used in 4 days = 450 g × 4 = 1800 g = 1.8 kg
Rice left = 3.5 kg - 1.8 kg = 1.7 kg

Marking: 1 mark for finding total rice used (with unit conversion), 1 mark for correct subtraction and answer in kg.

11. A wire is bent to form a rectangle measuring 12 cm by 8 cm. The same wire is then bent to form a square. What is the length of each side of the square? [2]

Answer: 10 cm

Working:

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (12 + 8) = 2 × 20 = 40 cm
Length of wire = 40 cm
Perimeter of square = 40 cm
Side of square = 40 cm ÷ 4 = 10 cm

Marking: 1 mark for correct perimeter of rectangle, 1 mark for correct side of square.

12. The figure below shows a cuboid with a square base of side 6 cm. The volume of the cuboid is 432 cm³. Find the height of the cuboid. [2]

Answer: 12 cm

Working:

Base area = 6 cm × 6 cm = 36 cm²
Volume = Base area × Height
Height = Volume ÷ Base area = 432 cm³ ÷ 36 cm² = 12 cm

Marking: 1 mark for correct base area, 1 mark for correct division and answer.

13. A pail can hold 8.5 ℓ of water. A cup has a capacity of 250 mℓ. What is the maximum number of cups of water that can be filled from a full pail? [2]

Answer: 34 cups

Working:

Capacity of pail = 8.5 ℓ = 8500 mℓ
Number of cups = 8500 mℓ ÷ 250 mℓ = 34 cups

Marking: 1 mark for correct unit conversion, 1 mark for correct division and answer (whole number).

14. The total mass of 3 identical books and 2 identical files is 2.1 kg. The mass of each book is 3 times the mass of each file. Find the mass of one book. Give your answer in grams. [2]

Answer: 450 g

Working:

Let mass of 1 file = u g
Mass of 1 book = 3u g
Total mass = 3(3u) + 2u = 9u + 2u = 11u
11u = 2.1 kg = 2100 g
u = 2100 ÷ 11 = 190.909... (not a whole number - wait, let me recheck)

Correction:

2.1 kg = 2100 g
11u = 2100
u = 2100 ÷ 11 = 190.909... This doesn't give a whole number.

Let me re-read: "The total mass of 3 identical books and 2 identical files is 2.1 kg." If mass of book = 3 × mass of file, then: 3 books + 2 files = 3(3f) + 2f = 9f + 2f = 11f = 2100 g f = 2100/11 ≈ 190.9 g Book = 3f = 572.7 g

This is not a nice number. Let me adjust the question to have a clean answer. The question as written gives a decimal. For the answer key, I'll provide the exact working.

Actually, looking at the question again - it says "Give your answer in grams." The answer would be 572.73 g (recurring). This is unusual for PSLE. Let me provide the exact working.

Working (exact):

Let mass of 1 file = f g
Mass of 1 book = 3f g
3(3f) + 2f = 2100 g
9f + 2f = 2100
11f = 2100
f = 2100/11 g
Mass of 1 book = 3f = 6300/11 = 572 8/11 g ≈ 572.73 g

Marking: 1 mark for setting up correct equation, 1 mark for correct answer (accept fraction or decimal).

Note: In actual PSLE, numbers are chosen to give whole number answers. This question would typically use 2.2 kg (giving 600 g per book) or similar.

15. A tank measuring 50 cm by 40 cm by 30 cm is completely filled with water. The water is then poured into some identical cubes of side 10 cm until all the cubes are completely filled. What is the maximum number of such cubes that can be filled? [2]

Answer: 60 cubes

Working:

Volume of tank = 50 × 40 × 30 = 60 000 cm³
Volume of 1 cube = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000 cm³
Number of cubes = 60 000 ÷ 1000 = 60 cubes

Marking: 1 mark for volume of tank, 1 mark for volume of cube and correct division.

Section C: Structured / Long-Answer Questions (20 marks)

16. A rectangular tank measuring 60 cm by 40 cm by 50 cm is $\frac{2}{5}$ filled with water.

(a) Find the volume of water in the tank at first. [1]
(b) Water flows into the tank at a rate of 3 ℓ per minute. How long does it take to fill the tank completely? Give your answer in minutes. [3]

Answer (a): 48 000 cm³
Answer (b): 24 min

Working:

(a)

Volume of tank = 60 × 40 × 50 = 120 000 cm³
Volume of water at first = $\frac{2}{5}$ × 120 000 = 48 000 cm³

(b)

Volume needed to fill = 120 000 - 48 000 = 72 000 cm³
Convert to litres: 72 000 cm³ = 72 ℓ (since 1000 cm³ = 1 ℓ)
Time = Volume ÷ Rate = 72 ℓ ÷ 3 ℓ/min = 24 min

Marking:

(a) 1 mark for correct answer with unit.
(b) 1 mark for finding remaining volume, 1 mark for correct conversion to litres, 1 mark for correct time calculation.

17. The figure below shows a container made up of a cuboid and a cube. The cuboid measures 30 cm by 20 cm by 25 cm. The cube has an edge of 15 cm. The container is completely filled with water. All the water is then poured into a rectangular tank with a base area of 500 cm². Find the height of the water level in the rectangular tank. [4]

Answer: 29.25 cm

Working:

Volume of cuboid = 30 × 20 × 25 = 15 000 cm³
Volume of cube = 15 × 15 × 15 = 3375 cm³
Total volume of water = 15 000 + 3375 = 18 375 cm³
Height of water in rectangular tank = Volume ÷ Base area
= 18 375 cm³ ÷ 500 cm² = 36.75 cm

Wait, let me recalculate: 18 375 ÷ 500 = 36.75 cm.

But the cuboid is 30×20×25 and cube is 15×15×15. The description says "cuboid sitting on top of a cube" sharing a 15×15 face. The cuboid dimensions are 30×20×25. If it shares a 15×15 face with the cube, then the cuboid's base must be at least 15×15. 30×20 works. The height of the cuboid is 25 cm. The cube edge is 15 cm. Total volume is indeed 15000 + 3375 = 18375 cm³.

Height = 18375 ÷ 500 = 36.75 cm.

Answer: 36.75 cm

Marking:

1 mark for volume of cuboid
1 mark for volume of cube
1 mark for total volume
1 mark for correct height calculation with unit

18. Mrs Lim bought 4 kg of flour. She used $\frac{3}{8}$ of it to bake a cake and 0.6 kg of it to bake some cookies. She then packed the remaining flour equally into 5 packets. What was the mass of flour in each packet? Give your answer in grams. [4]

Answer: 380 g

Working:

Mass of flour used for cake = $\frac{3}{8}$ × 4 kg = 1.5 kg
Mass of flour used for cookies = 0.6 kg
Total used = 1.5 + 0.6 = 2.1 kg
Mass remaining = 4 - 2.1 = 1.9 kg = 1900 g
Mass in each packet = 1900 g ÷ 5 = 380 g

Marking:

1 mark for mass used for cake (1.5 kg)
1 mark for total mass used (2.1 kg)
1 mark for mass remaining (1.9 kg or 1900 g)
1 mark for final answer (380 g)

19. A rectangular tank measuring 80 cm by 50 cm by 40 cm is filled with water to a height of 28 cm. A metal cube of edge 12 cm is gently lowered into the tank until it rests on the bottom.

(a) Find the volume of the metal cube. [1]
(b) Find the new height of the water level in the tank. [3]

Answer (a): 1728 cm³
Answer (b): 28.432 cm (or 28.43 cm, or 28 $\frac{54}{125}$ cm)

Working:

(a)

Volume of cube = 12 × 12 × 12 = 1728 cm³

(b)

Base area of tank = 80 × 50 = 4000 cm²
Volume of water at first = 4000 × 28 = 112 000 cm³
When cube is lowered, it displaces water equal to its volume (since it rests on bottom and is fully submerged - check: cube height 12 cm < water height 28 cm, so fully submerged)
New volume of water + cube = 112 000 + 1728 = 113 728 cm³
New water height = 113 728 ÷ 4000 = 28.432 cm

Marking:

(a) 1 mark for correct volume with unit.
(b) 1 mark for base area of tank, 1 mark for initial volume of water, 1 mark for new height calculation.

20. The figure below shows an empty rectangular tank measuring 60 cm by 30 cm by 40 cm. Tap A can fill the tank at a rate of 4 ℓ per minute. Tap B can drain water from the tank at a rate of 2.5 ℓ per minute. Both taps are turned on at the same time.

Answer (a): 6 min
Answer (b): 15 min

Working:

(a)

Base area of tank = 60 × 30 = 1800 cm²
Volume to height 20 cm = 1800 × 20 = 36 000 cm³ = 36 ℓ
Net inflow rate = 4 ℓ/min - 2.5 ℓ/min = 1.5 ℓ/min
Time = 36 ℓ ÷ 1.5 ℓ/min = 24 min

Wait, 36 ÷ 1.5 = 24, not 6. Let me recalculate.

36 ÷ 1.5 = 24 minutes. So answer (a) should be 24 min.

(b)

Full tank volume = 60 × 30 × 40 = 72 000 cm³ = 72 ℓ
Volume already filled = 36 ℓ
Remaining volume = 72 - 36 = 36 ℓ
Only Tap A is on: rate = 4 ℓ/min
Time = 36 ℓ ÷ 4 ℓ/min = 9 min

So answers: (a) 24 min, (b) 9 min.

Let me update the answer key.

Answer (a): 24 min
Answer (b): 9 min

Working:

(a)

Volume to 20 cm height = 60 × 30 × 20 = 36 000 cm³ = 36 ℓ
Net rate = 4 - 2.5 = 1.5 ℓ/min
Time = 36 ÷ 1.5 = 24 min

(b)

Total tank volume = 60 × 30 × 40 = 72 000 cm³ = 72 ℓ
Remaining volume = 72 - 36 = 36 ℓ
Rate (Tap A only) = 4 ℓ/min
Time = 36 ÷ 4 = 9 min

Marking:

(a) 1 mark for volume calculation (36 ℓ), 1 mark for net rate and time calculation.
(b) 1 mark for remaining volume (36 ℓ), 1 mark for time with Tap A only.
