Primary 6 PSLE Mathematics Quiz - Whole Numbers: ANSWER KEY

Section A: Direct Calculation (1 mark each)

1. Three million, four hundred five thousand and twenty-eight

Teaching note: When writing numbers in words, group by thousands: 3,405,028 = 3 million + 405 thousand + 28. Use "and" before the tens/units if there are no hundreds in that group. Hyphenate compound numbers (twenty-eight). Common mistake: writing "forty five" instead of "four hundred five" for the thousands group.

2. 700,000 (seven hundred thousand)

Teaching note: In 8,726,543, the digit 7 is in the hundred-thousands place. Its value is 7 × 100,000 = 700,000. Do not confuse "digit" (just the symbol 7) with "value" (what the 7 represents in that position). Place value from right: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands, millions.

3. 6,847,000

Teaching note: To round to the nearest thousand, look at the hundreds digit: 6,847,352 has 3 in the hundreds place. Since 3 < 5, round down (keep the thousands digit as 7, change everything after to zeros). Common mistake: rounding to 6,850,000 (nearest ten thousand) or 6,848,000.

4. 91

Teaching note: First list all factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36. Then sum them: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 18 + 36 = 91. Common mistake: forgetting that 36 is also a factor of itself, or missing factor pairs (e.g., forgetting 18 because 2 × 18 = 36).

5. 1002

Teaching note: Smallest 4-digit number is 1000. Check: 1000 ÷ 3 = 333 remainder 1, so not divisible by 3. 1001 ÷ 3 = 333 remainder 2, not divisible by 3. 1002 ÷ 3 = 334 exactly, and 1002 is even. Sum of digits check for divisibility by 3: 1+0+0+2 = 3, which is divisible by 3.

Section B: Short Problems (2 marks each)

6. 192

Working:

  • Number × 24 = 4,608
  • Number = 4,608 ÷ 24
  • 4,608 ÷ 24 = 192

Teaching note: This uses inverse operations. If multiplication gives the result, division undoes it. Check: 192 × 24 = (192 × 20) + (192 × 4) = 3,840 + 768 = 4,608 ✓

Mark allocation: [2] for correct answer, or [1] for correct method with calculation error.

7. 36

Working:

  • Factors of 72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
  • Factors of 108: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 108
  • Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
  • HCF = 36

Alternative (prime factorisation):

  • 72 = 2³ × 3²
  • 108 = 2² × 3³
  • HCF = 2² × 3² = 4 × 9 = 36

Teaching note: Prime factorisation is more efficient for larger numbers. Take the lowest power of each common prime factor.

Mark allocation: [2] for correct answer, or [1] for listing factors correctly but selecting wrong HCF.

8. 144

Working (prime factorisation):

  • 16 = 2⁴
  • 24 = 2³ × 3
  • 36 = 2² × 3²
  • LCM = 2⁴ × 3² = 16 × 9 = 144

Teaching note: For LCM, take the highest power of each prime factor present. Not to be confused with HCF where we take lowest powers. Check: 144 ÷ 16 = 9 ✓, 144 ÷ 24 = 6 ✓, 144 ÷ 36 = 4 ✓.

Mark allocation: [2] for correct answer, or [1] for correct prime factorisation with final error.

9. 6,037

Working:

  • Formula: Number = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
  • Number = (48 × 125) + 37
  • 48 × 125 = 6,000
  • 6,000 + 37 = 6,037

Teaching note: This is the division algorithm formula. Always add the remainder back. Check: 6,037 ÷ 48 = 125 remainder 37 ✓ Common mistake: forgetting to add the remainder (getting 6,000) or adding incorrectly.

Mark allocation: [2] for correct answer, or [1] for correct formula with calculation error.

10. 216 bags

Working:

  • Total biscuits = 48 × 36 = 1,728
  • Number of bags = 1,728 ÷ 8 = 216

Teaching note: Two-step problem: first find total, then divide. Can also simplify: (48 × 36) ÷ 8 = 48 ÷ 8 × 36 = 6 × 36 = 216. Look for simplification to reduce errors.

Mark allocation: [2] for correct answer with working, or [1] for correct method with arithmetic error.

Section C: Application Problems (3 marks each)

11. 210 extra worksheets

Working:

  • Worksheets needed = 1,236 × 15 = 18,540
  • Extra worksheets = 18,750 − 18,540 = 210

Teaching note: "Extra" means find the difference after calculating requirement. Breaking down: 1,236 × 15 = 1,236 × 10 + 1,236 × 5 = 12,360 + 6,180 = 18,540.

Mark allocation: [1] for correct total needed, [1] for subtraction, [1] for final answer. Or [2] for correct method with arithmetic error, [1] for partial method.

12. 211 toys per hour

Working:

  • Toys per day = 8,450 ÷ 5 = 1,690
  • Toys per hour = 1,690 ÷ 8 = 211.25

Or combined: 8,450 ÷ (5 × 8) = 8,450 ÷ 40 = 211.25

Wait—let me recheck: 8,450 ÷ 40 = 211.25, but this gives a fraction. Rechecking: 211.25 toys = 211 toys if whole toys, but problem likely expects exact answer. Let me verify: 211.25 = 8450/40 = 1690/8 = 845/4.

Actually 8,450 ÷ 40: 8,000 ÷ 40 = 200, 450 ÷ 40 = 11.25. So 211.25 or 211¼.

Given typical PSLE conventions, likely answer is 211¼ toys or 211 toys (if rounded). However, checking arithmetic again: 8,450 ÷ 5 = 1,690. 1,690 ÷ 8: 8 × 211 = 1,688, remainder 2, so 211¼.

Revised answer: 211¼ toys or 211.25 toys (or 211 if rounding required; problem should specify)

Teaching note: Rate problems involve division in stages. Toys per day first, then per hour. Note that rates can result in fractions—interpret based on context.

Mark allocation: [1] for toys per day, [1] for division by 8, [1] for correct final answer. Accept 211¼.

(Note: For a cleaner number, let me adjust to verified answer)

Corrected Working verification: Let me recheck if I misread. 8,450 ÷ 5 = 1,690. 1,690 ÷ 8 = 211.25. Problem may expect this as fraction or decimal. In Singapore primary, mixed numbers are accepted.

13. 700 m

Working (from diagram description):

  • Total length = 120 + 95 + 145 = 360 m
  • Width = 85 m
  • Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (360 + 85) = 2 × 445 = 890 m

Wait—let me re-read: sections are adjacent sharing width. If width is uniform 85m and they're side by side along length:

Let me recalculate: Three rectangles side by side with widths 85m each, lengths 120m, 95m, 145m arranged along the 85m dimension. So total length = 120 + 95 + 145 = 360m, width = 85m.

Perimeter = 2 × (360 + 85) = 2 × 445 = 890 m

Actually re-reading: "uniform width of 85 m" suggests all have width 85m, arranged side by side so combined length is sum of individual lengths.

Perimeter = 2 × (360 + 85) = 890 m

Hmm, but let me verify: If arranged with 85m as the common side (vertical), then horizontal dimension is 120+95+145 = 360. Perimeter = 2(360) + 2(85) = 720 + 170 = 890.

Answer: 890 m

Teaching note: For composite shapes, find overall dimensions first. The internal dividing lines are not part of the perimeter. Common mistake: adding all individual perimeters (120+95+145)×2 + stuff, or including internal lines.

Mark allocation: [1] for correct total length, [1] for perimeter formula, [1] for correct answer.

14. 816 apples left

Working:

  • Total boxes = 5,280 ÷ 24 = 220 boxes
  • Boxes remaining = 220 − 186 = 34 boxes
  • Apples left = 34 × 24 = 816

Or: Boxes sold = 186, so apples sold = 186 × 24 = 4,464. Apples left = 5,280 − 4,464 = 816.

Teaching note: Two valid approaches—work in boxes then convert, or work in apples throughout. First approach numerically easier.

Mark allocation: [1] for total boxes, [1] for boxes/apples remaining, [1] for final answer.

15. 417

Working:

  • Let middle number be n. Then three consecutive numbers are (n−1), n, (n+1).
  • Sum = 3n = 1,248
  • n = 416
  • Largest number = n + 1 = 417

Alternative: 1,248 ÷ 3 = 416 (middle number), so largest = 417.

Teaching note: For consecutive numbers, the middle number equals the average (sum ÷ count). This is a key insight. Then largest is one more than middle.

Mark allocation: [1] for finding middle number or setting up equation, [1] for correct value of n, [1] for largest number.

Section D: Challenging Problems (4 marks each)

16. 10,408

Working:

  • Hundreds digit = 4, so thousands digit = 2 × 4 = 8
  • Number form: _ 8 4 _ _ (5-digit number: ten-thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, units)
  • Divisible by 8: last three digits must be divisible by 8
  • When +3,492 added, result divisible by 5: last digit of result must be 0 or 5

Let number be 84 _ _ (wait, need 5 digits: 84_)

Correct form: TTh Th H T U = a 8 4 b c, where a ≥ 1

  • Divisible by 8: 4bc must be divisible by 8
  • Number + 3492 = result ending in 0 or 5, so c + 2 ends in 0 or 5, meaning c = 8 (gives 0) or c = 3 (gives 5)

For smallest number, try a = 1: number is 184bc

If c = 8: need 4b8 ÷ 8. 400 ÷ 8 = 50, so need b8 ÷ 8. 48 ÷ 8 = 6, so b = 4 gives 448 ÷ 8 = 56. Check: 448 ÷ 8 = 56 ✓

So 18448. Check +3492: 18448 + 3492 = 21940. Ends in 0, divisible by 5 ✓

If c = 3: need 4b3 ÷ 8. 403, 413, 423... 483 = 480+3, not divisible. 403÷8=50.375. This path harder.

Verify 18448: digits are 1,8,4,4,8. Thousands=8, hundreds=4, 8=2×4 ✓

Is there smaller? Try a=1, c=8, b=0: 408÷8=51? 408÷8=51 ✓! So 18408.

Check +3492: 18408 + 3492 = 21900. Ends in 0 ✓

Can b=0? 408 ÷ 8 = 51. Yes!

So 18,408? Wait, that's 5 digits: 18408.

But let me recheck: 18408. +3492 = 21900. Divisible by 5? 21900 ÷ 5 = 4380 ✓

Is there smaller with a=1? b=0, c=8 works. What about smaller hundreds? Hundreds is fixed at 4.

Actually I need to recheck format. Let me re-read: "digit in thousands place is twice digit in hundreds place." Hundreds=4, so thousands=8.

So number is _ 8 4 _ _. For smallest, ten-thousands should be smallest: 1.

So 18408 seems valid. But let me check if 108xx or similar—no, thousands must be 8.

Wait: Is 10408 possible? No, thousands must be 8.

So 18,408 or written as 18408.

Let me recheck my earlier calculation: I said 18448 first, then found 18408.

Final answer: 18408

Hmm, but I need to check if this is 5-digit: 18408 is 5 digits. ✓

Teaching note: This combines multiple constraints. Work systematically: (1) fix known digits from ratio condition, (2) apply divisibility by 8 (last 3 digits), (3) apply divisibility by 5 condition on result. Use smallest possible leading digit.

Mark allocation: [1] for correct thousands digit, [1] for divisibility by 8 condition, [1] for divisibility by 5 condition, [1] for smallest valid number.

17. (a) 46; (b) Row 10

Working:

(a) First number in each row:

  • Row 1: 1
  • Row 2: 2
  • Row 3: 4
  • Row 4: 7
  • Row 5: 11

Pattern: differences increase by 1: 2−1=1, 4−2=2, 7−4=3, 11−7=4, ...

First number in Row n = 1 + (1 + 2 + ... + (n−1)) = 1 + n(n−1)/2

Row 10: 1 + 9×10/2 = 1 + 45 = 46

(b) Find n such that row n contains 55.

Row n starts at 1 + (n−1)n/2 and has n numbers, so ends at 1 + (n−1)n/2 + (n−1) = n(n+1)/2

Need: 1 + n(n−1)/2 ≤ 55 ≤ n(n+1)/2

Try n=10: starts 46, ends 55. So 55 is last number in Row 10.

Check: Row 10 contains 46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55. Yes, 55 is in Row 10.

Teaching note: Triangular numbers appear: last number in Row n is n(n+1)/2 = 1+2+...+n. First number is one more than last of previous row.

Mark allocation: (a) [2] correct, or [1] for correct pattern identified but wrong row; (b) [2] correct, or [1] for finding triangular number pattern but wrong assignment.

18. 1,800 more economy-class passengers

Working:

  • Ratio first-class : economy = 15 : 35 = 3 : 7
  • Total parts = 3 + 7 = 10
  • First-class passengers = (3/10) × 4,500 = 1,350
  • Economy passengers = (7/10) × 4,500 = 3,150
  • Difference = 3,150 − 1,350 = 1,800

Or: Difference in parts = 7 − 3 = 4 parts

  • 4 parts = (4/10) × 4,500 = 1,800

Teaching note: Ratio problems: simplify first, then scale to total. The "for every" language indicates ratio. Second method using parts difference is more efficient.

Mark allocation: [1] for correct ratio, [1] for finding one quantity, [1] for finding second quantity, [1] for correct difference.

19. 9:02 a.m. (or more precisely, 120 seconds = 2 minutes, so 9:02 a.m. or 9:02:00 a.m.)

Wait, let me recalculate.

Working:

  • Find LCM of 6, 8, and 15
  • Prime factorisations: 6 = 2×3, 8 = 2³, 15 = 3×5
  • LCM = 2³ × 3 × 5 = 8 × 3 × 5 = 120 seconds
  • 120 seconds = 2 minutes
  • Next time: 9:00 a.m. + 2 minutes = 9:02 a.m.

Teaching note: "Flash together" problems use LCM. Convert to same units first (all in seconds), then find LCM, then convert back.

Mark allocation: [1] for LCM method identified, [1] for correct LCM, [1] for time conversion, [1] for correct final time.

20. (a) May; (b) 97%

Working:

(a) Month-to-month changes:

  • Jan to Feb: 62 − 45 = 17 thousand increase
  • Feb to Mar: 58 − 62 = 4 thousand decrease
  • Mar to Apr: 75 − 58 = 17 thousand increase
  • Apr to May: 80 − 75 = 5 thousand increase
  • May to Jun: 68 − 80 = 12 thousand decrease

Greatest increase: Jan to Feb and Mar to Apr both 17,000.

Wait, re-reading chart values: Jan 45, Feb 62, Mar 58, Apr 75, May 80, Jun 68.

Increases: Jan→Feb: +17, Feb→Mar: −4, Mar→Apr: +17, Apr→May: +5, May→Jun: −12.

Greatest increase is May? No wait—Jan→Feb and Mar→Apr are tied at +17.

But if asking "the increase... was the greatest" and there's a tie, perhaps I need to check if I misread. Let me assume the problem expects unique answer, so perhaps Apr→May is meant, or I should pick one.

Actually re-reading: both Jan→Feb and Mar→Apr equal +17. In exam context, either might be accepted or chart values adjusted. Let me note February or April (from January or March respectively), but if forced: May shows +5 from April, not greatest.

Hmm, let me recheck: Apr 75 to May 80 is +5, not large.

Perhaps I misread values. Let me assume: maybe Apr is 70? Then Apr→May = +10, still less than 17.

Given data as stated: February (from January) or April (from March) with equal +17,000 increase.

For answer key, I'll state April as it's later? Or note tie. Let me use April as the clear sustained growth after a dip, or note both.

Actually standard practice: if tie, first occurrence or both accepted. I'll state February (first occurrence of maximum increase).

(b) Total production = 45 + 62 + 58 + 75 + 80 + 68 = 388 thousand = 388,000 bags

Percentage of target = (388,000/400,000) × 100% = 97%

To nearest whole number: 97%

Teaching note: For bar charts, read values carefully. Percentage of target compares actual to goal. Remember to ×100 for percentage.

Mark allocation: (a) [1] correct month; (b) [1] for total, [1] for fraction set up, [1] for percentage to nearest whole number.
