TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper — Mathematics Secondary 1 (Version 4) Answer Key

Total Marks: 50

Section A Answers

Q1. [2 marks]
$24 : 36 = \frac{24}{12} : \frac{36}{12} = 2 : 3$
Answer: $2 : 3$
Teaching note: Divide both terms by their highest common factor (12). Simplest form means no common factor greater than 1.

Q2. [1 mark]
$0.45 = 0.45 \times 100\% = 45\%$
Answer: $45\%$

Q3. [2 marks]
Ratio flour : sugar = $3 : 2$ .
Flour = $150\text{ g}$ corresponds to 3 units, so 1 unit = $150 \div 3 = 50\text{ g}$ .
Sugar = $2 \times 50 = 100\text{ g}$ .
Answer: $100\text{ g}$

Q4. [1 mark]
$12.5\% \text{ of } 80 = \frac{12.5}{100} \times 80 = 10$
Answer: $10$

Q5. [2 marks]
Boys : girls = $5 : 4$ , total 9 units = 36 students.
1 unit = $36 \div 9 = 4$ .
Boys = $5 \times 4 = 20$ .
Answer: $20$ boys

Q6. [2 marks]
Discount = $15\% \times 40 = \$ 6 $. Sale price =$ 40 - 6 = $34 $. (Or$ 40 \times 0.85 = 34 $) Answer:$ $34$

Q7. [2 marks]
$3.6\text{ km/h} = 3.6 \times \frac{1000\text{ m}}{3600\text{ s}} = \frac{3600}{3600} = 1\text{ m/s}$ .
Answer: $1\text{ m/s}$

Q8. [2 marks]
Red = $2 \times$ blue = $2 \times 18 = 36$ .
Answer: $36$ red marbles

Section B Answers

Q9. [3 marks]
$-4x > 12$
Divide by $-4$ (reverse sign): $x < -3$ .
Number line: open circle at $-3$ , arrow to the left.
Marking: 1 mark solve, 1 mark reverse sign, 1 mark correct number line.
Common mistake: forgetting to reverse inequality when dividing by negative.

Q10. [3 marks]
Rate = $250\text{ g/s}$ . Time = $2\text{ h} = 7200\text{ s}$ .
Total mass = $250 \times 7200 = 1\,800\,000\text{ g} = 1800\text{ kg}$ .
Packet = $2\text{ kg}$ , number = $1800 \div 2 = 900$ .
Answer: $900$ packets

Q11. [2 marks]
Increase = $30 - 25 = 5$ .
Percentage increase = $\frac{5}{25} \times 100\% = 20\%$ .
Answer: $20\%$

Q12. [3 marks]
Let pencils = $x$ , pens = $3x$ .
New pencils = $1.5x$ . Pens unchanged = $3x$ .
New ratio pens : pencils = $3x : 1.5x = 3 : 1.5 = 6 : 3 = 2 : 1$ .
Answer: $2 : 1$

Q13. [2 marks]
Ali : Ben = $2 : 3$ . Ali gets 2 units = $\$ 80 $, so 1 unit =$ $40 $. Total =$ 5 $units =$ 5 \times 40 = $200 $. Answer:$ $200$

Q14. [3 marks]
$t \propto 1/p$ , so $t = k/p$ .
$6 = k/5 \Rightarrow k = 30$ .
With 3 painters: $t = 30/3 = 10$ hours.
Answer: $10$ hours

Section C Answers

Q15. [5 marks]
(a) [3] Let original = $\$ P $. After +25%:$ 1.25P $. After -20%:$ 1.25P \times 0.8 = P $. So$ P = 120 $. Original price =$ $120 $. (b) [2] Overall change =$ (120 - 120)/120 \times 100% = 0% $. Answer: (a)$ $120 $, (b)$ 0%$

Q16. [4 marks]
(a) [2] $45/200 \times 100\% = 22.5\%$ .
(b) [2] $22.5\% \times 800 = 180$ students.

Q17. [4 marks]
Let apples = $5u$ , oranges = $3u$ .
After +10 apples: $(5u+10) : 3u = 3 : 1$ .
So $5u+10 = 9u \Rightarrow 4u = 10 \Rightarrow u = 2.5$ .
Original apples = $5 \times 2.5 = 12.5$ (accept as fraction if context allows; else state 12.5).
Oranges = $3 \times 2.5 = 7.5$ .
Note: If whole items expected, treat as scaled: 25 apples, 15 oranges gives 25:15=5:3, +10 => 35:15 = 7:3 not 3:1; thus fractional answer is mathematically correct.

Q18. [4 marks]
(a) [1] $240 \div 3 = 80\text{ km/h}$ .
(b) [2] $80\text{ km/h} = 80 \times 1000/3600 = 22.2\text{ m/s}$ (or $200/9$ ).
(c) [1] $400 \div 80 = 5\text{ h}$ .

Q19. [3 marks]
Daily = $15 \times 8 = \$ 120 $. 5 days =$ 600 $. Bonus 10% =$ 60 $. Total =$ $660$.

Q20. [3 marks]
(a) [1] Total = $30+50+20 = 100$ .
(b) [2] Juice % = $50/100 \times 100\% = 50\%$ .
