Answers

TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper - Other Secondary 1 (Answer Key)

Subject: Other
Level: Secondary 1
Paper: Practice Paper Version 5
Total Marks: 50

Section A: Ratio and Proportion [15 marks]

Question 1 [2 marks]

Answer: $9 : 2$

Working:

Convert decimal to fraction: $3.6 = \frac{36}{10} = \frac{18}{5}$
Write ratio: $\frac{18}{5} : \frac{4}{5}$
Multiply both sides by 5 (the common denominator): $18 : 4$
Simplify by dividing by HCF (2): $9 : 2$

Marking Notes:

1 mark for correct conversion of 3.6 to fraction ( $\frac{18}{5}$ or $\frac{36}{10}$ )
1 mark for correct simplification to $9 : 2$
Common error: Leaving as $18 : 4$ or $4.5 : 1$ (not simplest integer form)

Question 2 [2 marks]

Answer: 245 students

Working:

Ratio Bus : Walk = $5 : 7$
5 units = 175 students
1 unit = $175 \div 5 = 35$ students
7 units = $35 \times 7 = 245$ students

Marking Notes:

1 mark for finding value of 1 unit (35)
1 mark for correct final answer (245)
Alternative method: $\frac{7}{5} \times 175 = 245$

Question 3 [3 marks]

Answer (a): 2000 mL (or 2 L)
Answer (b): $\frac{1}{5}$

Working (a):

Ratio Orange : Apple : Water = $3 : 2 : 5$
Total parts = $3 + 2 + 5 = 10$ parts
3 parts = 600 mL
1 part = $600 \div 3 = 200$ mL
Total volume = $10 \times 200 = 2000$ mL

Working (b):

Apple juice = 2 parts
Total = 10 parts
Fraction = $\frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}$

Marking Notes:

(a) 1 mark for finding 1 part (200 mL), 1 mark for total (2000 mL)
(b) 1 mark for correct fraction in simplest form
Accept 2 L for (a) if units clearly stated

Question 4 [3 marks]

Answer: 112 non-fiction books

Working:

Let original fiction books = $7x$ , non-fiction = $4x$
After adding 84 fiction: $(7x + 84) : 4x = 5 : 2$
Cross-multiply: $2(7x + 84) = 5(4x)$
$14x + 168 = 20x$
$6x = 168$
$x = 28$
Non-fiction books = $4x = 4 \times 28 = 112$

Check: Original fiction = $7 \times 28 = 196$ . After adding 84: $280$ . Ratio $280 : 112 = 5 : 2$ ✓

Marking Notes:

1 mark for setting up equation with variable
1 mark for correct algebraic manipulation
1 mark for correct final answer
Common error: Forgetting to multiply $x$ by 4 for non-fiction count

Question 5 [5 marks]

Answer (a): 1.6 km
Answer (b): 4 cm²
Answer (c): Area scale is the square of linear scale because area is a two-dimensional measurement. When linear dimensions are scaled by factor $k$ , area scales by $k^2$ .

Working (a):

Scale $1 : 25\,000$ means 1 cm on map = 25,000 cm in reality
Map distance = 6.4 cm
Actual distance = $6.4 \times 25\,000 = 160\,000$ cm
Convert to km: $160\,000 \div 100\,000 = 1.6$ km

Working (b):

Area scale = $(1 : 25\,000)^2 = 1 : 625\,000\,000$
Actual area = $0.625 \text{ km}^2 = 0.625 \times 1\,000\,000 \times 10\,000 \text{ cm}^2 = 6.25 \times 10^9 \text{ cm}^2$
Map area = $\frac{6.25 \times 10^9}{625\,000\,000} = 10 \text{ cm}^2$
Correction: $0.625 \text{ km}^2 = 0.625 \times (1000 \times 100)^2 \text{ cm}^2 = 0.625 \times 10^{10} \text{ cm}^2 = 6.25 \times 10^9 \text{ cm}^2$ Map area = $6.25 \times 10^9 \div 6.25 \times 10^8 = 10 \text{ cm}^2$

Wait, let me recalculate carefully: $1 \text{ km} = 100\,000 \text{ cm}$ $1 \text{ km}^2 = (100\,000)^2 = 10^{10} \text{ cm}^2$ $0.625 \text{ km}^2 = 0.625 \times 10^{10} = 6.25 \times 10^9 \text{ cm}^2$ Area scale factor = $(25\,000)^2 = 625\,000\,000 = 6.25 \times 10^8$ Map area = $\frac{6.25 \times 10^9}{6.25 \times 10^8} = 10 \text{ cm}^2$

Corrected Answer (b): 10 cm²

Marking Notes:

(a) 1 mark for correct multiplication, 1 mark for correct unit conversion to km
(b) 1 mark for correct area scale, 1 mark for correct unit conversion, 1 mark for correct final answer
(c) 1 mark for correct explanation mentioning two-dimensional nature

Section B: Percentage and Discount [12 marks]

Question 6 [2 marks]

Answer: $15.73

Working:

Discount = $15\% \times \$ 18.50 = 0.15 \times 18.50 = $2.775$
Selling price = $18.50 - 2.775 = \$ 15.725 \approx $15.73$ (to nearest cent)

Alternative: $85\% \times \$ 18.50 = 0.85 \times 18.50 = $15.725 \approx $15.73$

Marking Notes:

1 mark for correct discount calculation or percentage method
1 mark for correct final answer to 2 decimal places
Accept $15.72 or$ 15.73 depending on rounding convention

Question 7 [3 marks]

Answer: $46.80

Working:

First discount (20%): $65 \times 0.80 = \$ 52$
Second discount (10% on $52):$ 52 \times 0.90 = $46.80$

Alternative single-step: $65 \times 0.80 \times 0.90 = \$ 46.80$

Marking Notes:

1 mark for correct first discounted price ($52)
1 mark for applying second discount on the reduced price (not original)
1 mark for correct final answer
Common error: Adding percentages (30% off $65 =$ 45.50) — incorrect

Question 8 [3 marks]

Answer: Profit of $20

Working:

Cost price = $120
Revenue from first 25 notebooks = $25 \times \$ 4 = $100$
Discounted price = $4 \times 0.75 = \$ 3$
Revenue from remaining 15 notebooks = $15 \times \$ 3 = $45$
Total revenue = $100 + 45 = \$ 145$
Profit = $145 - 120 = \$ 25$

Correction: Profit = $25, not$ 20.

Marking Notes:

1 mark for correct revenue from first batch ($100)
1 mark for correct discounted price ( $3) and revenue from second batch ($ 45)
1 mark for correct profit calculation ($25)
Must state "Profit of $25" not just "$ 25"

Question 9 [4 marks]

Answer (a): $40.80
Answer (b): 2% increase

Working (a):

2022 price = $40
2023 price = $40 \times 1.20 = \$ 48$
2024 price = $48 \times 0.85 = \$ 40.80$

Working (b):

Overall change = $\frac{40.80 - 40}{40} \times 100\% = \frac{0.80}{40} \times 100\% = 2\%$
Since final price > original price, it is a 2% increase.

Alternative: Overall multiplier = $1.20 \times 0.85 = 1.02$ , so 2% increase.

Marking Notes:

(a) 1 mark for 2023 price ( $48), 1 mark for 2024 price ($ 40.80)
(b) 1 mark for correct percentage (2%), 1 mark for stating "increase"
Common error: Thinking 20% up then 15% down = 5% increase

Section C: Rate, Speed, and Time [10 marks]

Question 10 [2 marks]

Answer: 150 minutes

Working:

$2 \frac{1}{2}$ hours = $2.5$ hours
$2.5 \times 60 = 150$ minutes

Marking Notes:

1 mark for converting mixed number to decimal/improper fraction
1 mark for correct multiplication by 60

Question 11 [3 marks]

Answer: 12 km

Working:

Speed = 18 km/h
Time = 40 minutes = $\frac{40}{60} = \frac{2}{3}$ hour
Distance = Speed $\times$ Time = $18 \times \frac{2}{3} = 12$ km

Marking Notes:

1 mark for converting 40 minutes to hours ( $\frac{2}{3}$ h)
1 mark for correct formula (Distance = Speed $\times$ Time)
1 mark for correct final answer with units

Question 12 [5 marks]

Answer (a): 30 minutes
Answer (b): 16 minutes
Answer (c): 47.37 km/h (or $47 \frac{3}{19}$ km/h)

Working (a):

Distance = 20 km, Speed = 40 km/h
Time = $\frac{20}{40} = 0.5$ hour = 30 minutes

Working (b):

Remaining distance = $36 - 20 = 16$ km
Speed = 60 km/h
Time = $\frac{16}{60} = \frac{4}{15}$ hour = $\frac{4}{15} \times 60 = 16$ minutes

Working (c):

Total distance = 36 km
Total time = $30 + 16 = 46$ minutes = $\frac{46}{60} = \frac{23}{30}$ hour
Average speed = $\frac{36}{23/30} = 36 \times \frac{30}{23} = \frac{1080}{23} \approx 47.37$ km/h

Marking Notes:

(a) 1 mark for correct time in minutes
(b) 1 mark for correct remaining distance, 1 mark for correct time in minutes
(c) 1 mark for total distance, 1 mark for total time in hours, 1 mark for correct average speed
Common error: Averaging the two speeds ( $\frac{40+60}{2} = 50$ ) — incorrect

Section D: Data Interpretation and Analysis [13 marks]

Question 13 [3 marks]

Answer (a): 94 books
Answer (b): 92 books
Answer (c): No, the claim is not supported. Only 2 out of 5 days (Tuesday and Friday) have more than 90 books borrowed. "Most days" would require at least 3 days.

Working (a):

Mean = $\frac{85 + 92 + 78 + 105 + 110}{5} = \frac{470}{5} = 94$

Working (b):

Sorted data: 78, 85, 92, 105, 110
Median = middle value = 92

Marking Notes:

(a) 1 mark for correct sum (470), 1 mark for correct mean (94)
(b) 1 mark for correct median (92)
(c) 1 mark for correct evaluation with evidence (2 out of 5 days)

Question 14 [4 marks]

Answer (a): Basketball (difference of 7)
Answer (b): 125 students
Answer (c): 27.7%
Answer (d): A pie chart shows proportions of a whole but cannot easily compare two separate groups (Sec 1 vs Sec 2) across multiple categories simultaneously. It would require two separate pie charts, making comparison difficult.

Working (a):

Basketball: $|45 - 38| = 7$
Choir: $|32 - 40| = 8$ → Correction: Choir has difference of 8
Robotics: $|28 - 35| = 7$
Drama: $|20 - 25| = 5$
Greatest difference: Choir (8)

Corrected Answer (a): Choir

Working (b):

Sec 1 total = $45 + 32 + 28 + 20 = 125$

Working (c):

Sec 2 total = $38 + 40 + 35 + 25 = 138$
Basketball Sec 2 = 38
Percentage = $\frac{38}{138} \times 100\% \approx 27.536\% \approx 27.5\%$ (to 1 d.p.)
