Answers

TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper — Answer Key

Mathematics Secondary 1 — Numbers, Ratio & Proportion

Version 4 of 5

Section A: Short Answer Questions

1. Express 360 as a product of its prime factors.

360 ÷ 2 = 180
180 ÷ 2 = 90
90 ÷ 2 = 45
45 ÷ 3 = 15
15 ÷ 3 = 5
5 ÷ 5 = 1

∴ 360 = 2³ × 3² × 5¹ [2]

Marking: 1 mark for correct factorisation process, 1 mark for correct index form. Award 0 if answer is not in index notation.

2. Find the HCF of 84 and 126.

84 = 2² × 3 × 7
126 = 2 × 3² × 7

HCF = 2¹ × 3¹ × 7¹ = 42 [2]

Marking: 1 mark for correct prime factorisations, 1 mark for correct HCF.

3. Express 450 g : 2 kg in simplest form.

2 kg = 2000 g
450 : 2000 = 45 : 200 (÷10) = 9 : 40 (÷5)

∴ 9 : 40 [2]

Marking: 1 mark for converting to same units, 1 mark for correct simplified ratio. Common error: not converting units — penalise fully.

4. Simplify 2.4 : 3.6.

2.4 : 3.6 = 24 : 36 (×10) = 2 : 3 (÷12)

∴ 2 : 3 [2]

Marking: 1 mark for eliminating decimals, 1 mark for correct simplified ratio.

5. Ratio of boys to girls = 5 : 4. Boys = 20.

5 parts = 20 → 1 part = 4
Girls = 4 × 4 = 16
Total = 20 + 16 = 36 students [2]

Marking: 1 mark for finding 1 part = 4, 1 mark for correct total.

6. Increase 168 by 15%.

15% of 168 = 0.15 × 168 = 25.2
168 + 25.2 = 193.2 [2]

Marking: 1 mark for finding 15% of 168, 1 mark for correct final answer. Accept 193.2 or 193.20.

7. Shirt = $40, GST = 9%.

GST = 0.09 × 40 = $3.60 Total = 40 + 3.60 = **$ 43.60** [2]

Marking: 1 mark for correct GST amount, 1 mark for correct total. Common error: giving only the GST amount instead of total price.

8. Express 56 as a percentage of 160.

(56 ÷ 160) × 100 = 0.35 × 100 = 35% [2]

Marking: 1 mark for correct fraction/decimal, 1 mark for correct percentage.

9. Simplify: 3² + 4 × (8 − 5) ÷ 6

= 3² + 4 × 3 ÷ 6
= 9 + 12 ÷ 6
= 9 + 2
= 11 [2]

Marking: 1 mark for correct order of operations up to 9 + 12÷6, 1 mark for correct final answer. Common error: adding before dividing.

10. Prime numbers between 40 and 60.

41, 43, 47, 53, 59 [2]

Marking: 2 marks for all five correct. Deduct 1 mark if one is missing or one composite is included. Award 0 if two or more errors.

Section B: Structured Questions

11. Recipe for 6 servings: 300 g flour, 180 g sugar.

(a) Flour : Sugar = 300 : 180 = 5 : 3 [1]

(b) Flour for 6 servings = 300 g
Flour for 1 serving = 300 ÷ 6 = 50 g
Flour for 10 servings = 50 × 10 = 500 g [2]

Marking: 1 mark for finding 1 serving = 50 g, 1 mark for 500 g.

(c) Sugar for 6 servings = 180 g
Sugar per serving = 180 ÷ 6 = 30 g
With 270 g: 270 ÷ 30 = 9 servings [2]

Marking: 1 mark for finding sugar per serving, 1 mark for 9 servings.

12. Laptop price = $1,200. Sale reduction = 18%.

(a) Discount = 0.18 × 1200 = $216 [2]

Marking: 1 mark for correct method (0.18 × 1200), 1 mark for correct answer.

(b) Sale price = 1200 − 216 = $984 [1]

(c) Price after 10% increase from sale price:
Increase = 0.10 × 984 = 98.40
Final price = 984 + 98.40 = $1,082.40 [2]

Marking: 1 mark for finding 10% of 984, 1 mark for correct final price. Common error: applying 10% to original $1,200 instead of sale price — award 0 for part (c) if this error is made.

13. Ali : Bala : Chandra = 2 : 5 : 3.

(a) Total parts = 2 + 5 + 3 = 10
Ali's share = 2/10 = 1/5 [1]

Accept 2/10 or 1/5.

(b) Bala − Chandra = 5 parts − 3 parts = 2 parts
2 parts = $45 → 1 part =$ 22.50
Total = 10 × 22.50 = $225 [3]

Marking: 1 mark for identifying difference = 2 parts, 1 mark for 1 part = $22.50, 1 mark for total =$ 225.

Section C: Problem-Solving Question

15. Floor: 480 cm × 360 cm. Largest identical square tiles, no cutting.

(a) Largest tile side = HCF of 480 and 360.

480 = 2⁵ × 3 × 5
360 = 2³ × 3² × 5

HCF = 2³ × 3 × 5 = 8 × 3 × 5 = 120 cm [3]

Marking: 1 mark for prime factorisation of 480, 1 mark for prime factorisation of 360, 1 mark for correct HCF = 120 cm. Award 2/3 if HCF is found by listing or other valid method without full factorisation shown.

(b) Number of tiles along length = 480 ÷ 120 = 4
Number of tiles along width = 360 ÷ 120 = 3
Total tiles = 4 × 3 = 12 tiles [3]

Marking: 1 mark for 480 ÷ 120 = 4, 1 mark for 360 ÷ 120 = 3, 1 mark for 12 tiles. Award 2/3 if correct answer with incomplete working.

Total: 40 marks
