Answer Key

Section A: Ratio and Proportion

1. Simplify $2.5 : \frac{3}{4}$

Step 1: Convert decimal to fraction: $2.5 = \frac{5}{2}$

Step 2: Write ratio: $\frac{5}{2} : \frac{3}{4}$

Step 3: Multiply both sides by LCM of denominators (4): $10 : 3$

Step 4: Check — 10 and 3 share no common factor other than 1.

Answer: $10 : 3$ [1]

Common mistake: Students may multiply incorrectly or forget to convert the decimal first.

2. Express $18 : 30$ in simplest form.

Step 1: Find HCF of 18 and 30. HCF = 6.

Step 2: $18 \div 6 = 3$ , $30 \div 6 = 5$

Answer: $3 : 5$ [1]

3. Simplify $0.6 : \frac{2}{5}$

Step 1: Convert: $0.6 = \frac{3}{5}$

Step 2: Ratio: $\frac{3}{5} : \frac{2}{5}$

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 5: $3 : 2$

Answer: $3 : 2$ [1]

4. Flour : Sugar = $5 : 2$ . Flour = 15 cups.

Step 1: $5$ parts → $15$ cups, so $1$ part → $15 \div 5 = 3$ cups

Step 2: Sugar = $2 \times 3 = 6$ cups

Answer: $6$ cups [1]

5. Red : Blue = $7 : 3$ . Red = 21.

Step 1: $7$ parts → $21$ , so $1$ part → $21 \div 7 = 3$

Step 2: Blue = $3 \times 3 = 9$

Answer: $9$ marbles [1]

6. Simplify $1\frac{1}{2} : \frac{3}{8} : 2$

Step 1: Convert mixed number: $1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$

Step 2: Ratio: $\frac{3}{2} : \frac{3}{8} : 2 = \frac{3}{2} : \frac{3}{8} : \frac{2}{1}$

Step 3: LCM of denominators (2, 8, 1) = 8. Multiply all terms by 8:

$\frac{3}{2} \times 8 = 12$ , $\frac{3}{8} \times 8 = 3$ , $2 \times 8 = 16$

Step 4: Ratio = $12 : 3 : 16$

Step 5: Check for common factor — HCF of 12, 3, 16 is 1. Already in simplest form.

Answer: $12 : 3 : 16$ [2]

[1 mark] for correct conversion and multiplication. [1 mark] for correct final simplified ratio.

Common mistake: Students may stop at $12 : 3 : 16$ without checking, or make arithmetic errors when multiplying by 8.

7. Teachers : Students = $1 : 15$ . Students = 240.

Step 1: $15$ parts → $240$ , so $1$ part → $240 \div 15 = 16$

Step 2: Teachers = $1 \times 16 = 16$

Step 3: Total people = $240 + 16 = 256$

Answer: Teachers = 16 [1]
Answer: Total people = 256 [1]

8. Ali : Bala : Chris = $2 : 5 : 3$ . Bala receives $\$ 45$.

Step 1: $5$ parts → $\$ 45 $, so$ 1 $part →$ $45 \div 5 = $9$

Step 2: Total parts = $2 + 5 + 3 = 10$

Step 3: Total = $10 \times \$ 9 = $90$

Step 4: Ali = $2 \times \$ 9 = $18$

Answer: Total = $\$ 90 $** **[1]** **Answer:** Ali receives **$ $18$ [1]

Section B: Percentage and Real-World Applications

9. Express $35\%$ as a fraction.

Step 1: $35\% = \frac{35}{100}$

Step 2: Simplify: HCF of 35 and 100 is 5. $\frac{35 \div 5}{100 \div 5} = \frac{7}{20}$

Answer: $\frac{7}{20}$ [1]

10. Find $15\%$ of $280$ .

Step 1: $15\% \times 280 = \frac{15}{100} \times 280 = 0.15 \times 280 = 42$

Answer: $42$ [1]

11. Shirt = $\$ 40 $. GST =$ 9%$.

Step 1: GST amount = $9\% \times 40 = \frac{9}{100} \times 40 = 0.09 \times 40 = 3.60$

Answer: $\$ 3.60$ [1]

12. Class = $40$ students. Absent = $25\%$ .

Step 1: Absent = $25\% \times 40 = 0.25 \times 40 = 10$ students

Step 2: Present = $40 - 10 = 30$ students

Answer: $30$ students [1]

13. Laptop = $\$ 900 $. Discount =$ 12%$.

Step 1: Discount amount = $12\% \times 900 = 0.12 \times 900 = \$ 108$

Step 2: Selling price = $\$ 900 - $108 = $792$

Answer: $\$ 792$ [2]

[1 mark] for correct discount amount. [1 mark] for correct selling price.

14. Population increased from $50\,000$ to $53\,500$ .

Step 1: Increase = $53\,500 - 50\,000 = 3\,500$

Step 2: Percentage increase = $\frac{3\,500}{50\,000} \times 100\% = 0.07 \times 100\% = 7.0\%$

Answer: $7.0\%$ [2]

[1 mark] for correct increase value. [1 mark] for correct percentage to 1 d.p.

15. January = $\$ 120 $. February =$ 20% $more than January. March =$ 10%$ less than February.

Step 1: February savings = $\$ 120 \times 1.20 = $144$

Step 2: March savings = $\$ 144 \times 0.90 = $129.60$

Answer: $\$ 129.60$ [2]

[1 mark] for correct February amount. [1 mark] for correct March amount.

Section C: Data Interpretation and Structured Response

16. Books read: Aisha 8, Ben 12, Clara 6, David 10, Elena 4.

(a) Total = $8 + 12 + 6 + 10 + 4 = 40$

Answer: $40$ books [1]

(b) Ben : Elena = $12 : 4 = 3 : 1$

Answer: $3 : 1$ [1]

17. Flats built (thousands): 2017 = 15, 2018 = 22, 2019 = 18, 2020 = 10.

(a) Difference = $22 - 10 = 12$

Answer: $12$ thousand flats [1]

(b) Average = $\frac{15 + 22 + 18 + 10}{4} = \frac{65}{4} = 16.25$

Answer: $16.25$ thousand flats [1]

18. HDB flat data table.

(a) 3-Room area : Executive area = $60 : 120 = 1 : 2$

Answer: $1 : 2$ [1]

(b) Rent per m² for 4-Room = $\$ 2,400 \div 80 = $30$ per m²

Answer: $\$ 30$ per m² [1]

(c) Calculate rent per m² for each flat type:

3-Room: $\$ 1,800 \div 60 = $30$/m² ✓ (affordable)
4-Room: $\$ 2,400 \div 80 = $30$/m² ✓ (affordable)
5-Room: $\$ 2,800 \div 100 = $28$/m² ✓ (affordable)
Executive: $\$ 3,200 \div 120 = $26.67$/m² ✓ (affordable)

All flat types cost $\$ 30 $/m² or less, which is within the$ $25$/m² budget.

Wait — $\$ 30 > $25$, so 3-Room and 4-Room are NOT affordable.

3-Room: $\$ 30$/m² — not affordable
4-Room: $\$ 30$/m² — not affordable
5-Room: $\$ 28$/m² — not affordable
Executive: $\$ 26.67$/m² — not affordable

Answer: None of the flat types are affordable at $\$ 25$ per square metre per month. [1]

[1 mark] for correct calculation of at least two rent-per-m² values and a valid conclusion.

19. Chicken rice = $\$ 3.50 $/plate. Fishball noodles =$ $2.80 $/bowl. Ratio =$ 4 : 7 $. Total items =$ 132$.

(a) Total parts = $4 + 7 = 11$ . $1$ part = $132 \div 11 = 12$

Chicken rice plates = $4 \times 12 = 48$

Answer: $48$ plates [1]

(b) Fishball noodle bowls = $7 \times 12 = 84$

Answer: $84$ bowls [1]

(c) Total = $(48 \times \$ 3.50) + (84 \times $2.80) = $168 + $235.20 = $403.20$

Answer: $\$ 403.20$ [1]

20. Pie chart angles: Homework $90^\circ$ , Tuition $72^\circ$ , Sports $54^\circ$ , Screen Time $108^\circ$ , Rest/Other $36^\circ$ . Total students = $360$ .

(a) Screen time percentage = $\frac{108}{360} \times 100\% = 30\%$

Answer: $30\%$ [1]

(b) Students in sports = $\frac{54}{360} \times 360 = 54$ students

Answer: $54$ students [1]

(c) Screen time reduced by $36^\circ$ . This is redistributed equally to homework and sports, so each gets $36 \div 2 = 18^\circ$ .

New homework angle = $90^\circ + 18^\circ = 108^\circ$

Answer: $108^\circ$ [1]
