Section A: Numbers and Operations [25 marks]

Question 1 [3 marks] Find the HCF and LCM of 84 and 126 using prime factorization.

Answer: 84 = 2² × 3 × 7 126 = 2 × 3² × 7

HCF = 2 × 3 × 7 = 42 [1 mark] LCM = 2² × 3² × 7 = 252 [1 mark]

Question 2 [4 marks] (a) Widgets produced = 240 × 2.5 = 600 widgets [1 mark]

(b) Widgets in 6 hours = 240 × 6 = 1440 widgets [1 mark] Total mass = 1440 × 0.75 = 1080 kg [1 mark] = 1080 ÷ 1000 = 1.08 tonnes [1 mark]

Question 3 [3 marks] $3\frac{2}{5} - 1.8 + \frac{3}{4} \times (-2)$ = $\frac{17}{5} - \frac{9}{5} + \frac{3}{4} \times (-2)$ [1 mark] = $\frac{17}{5} - \frac{9}{5} - \frac{3}{2}$ [1 mark] = $\frac{8}{5} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{16-15}{10} = \frac{1}{10}$ [1 mark]

Question 4 [4 marks] $-3x + 7 > 16$ $-3x > 9$ [1 mark] $x < -3$ [1 mark for correct inequality direction] Number line showing open circle at -3 with arrow pointing left [2 marks]
