28

Look at the pattern in the first 2 numbers and the relationship. So 112 to 56. So 56 is half of 112. This tells you that its possible that the number is 28. This is confirmed because when you halve this, you end up at 14 as the final number

3.08, 3.80. 3.808, 3.88

These are very common questions. The simplest way to do these questions is to write them down in column format with the same number of digits in each number:

3.808

3.800

3.880

3.080

Then to go 1 column at a time left to right. The second column is the first one with a difference. The last number is .0 whereas the others are .8. Therefore it is the smallest. Keep working through in this manner

If any number ends in a two digit number that you know is divisible by 4 (e.g. 24, 04, 08, etc.), then the whole number will be divisible by 4 regardless of what is before the last two digits. Alternatively, one can simply divide the number by 2, and then check the result to find if it is divisible by 2.

a) 250/2 = 125g (amount for 6 waffles) x 3 = 375g

Think about HCF for 12 waffles v 18 waffles. The HCF for 12 & 18 is 6. Therefore, the best approach is to take 250/2 (to give 6 waffles). Then x that result by 3

b) 2eggs = 12 waffles. Therefore 1egg=6 waffles. 5 will therefore = 30 waffles

Again think about HCF of 2 & 5 which is 1. Therefore, the best way is to work out how many waffles you get for 1 egg and proceed from there

c) 75g

1oz = 25g. So 13oz = 13 * 25 = 325g

325 – 250 = 75g more

19. Jasper the horse eats three quarters of a bale of hay every day.
(a) How many bales of hay does Jasper eat in 8 days?
Answer: ……………………………………….
(b) How many days does it take Jasper to eat 27 bales of hay?
Answer: ……………………………………….

a) 6 bales

3/4 of a bale ever day. Therefore 3/4 x 8 /1 = 24/4 = 6 whole bales

Fraction multiplication taking 8 as 8/1

b) To eat 27 bales, it takes 36 days

For 6 bales = 8 days. Therefore, you can look at it as ratios if it makes it easier 3:4. So if 27 = the “3” in the ratio, then each part is worth 9. The number of days is the “4” so in this case, its 9×4 = 36

20. Summer has correctly used her calculator to work out that
17 x 538 = 9146
Without doing any long multiplication or division, use Summer’s calculation to work out
(a) 17 x 540
Answer: ……………………………………….
(b) 27 x 538
Answer: ……………………………………….
(c) 9146 ÷ 34
Answer: ……………………………………….

a) 9,180

The approach is to take 17 x 2. Given that you already have 17 x 538, its just another 17 x 2 that needs to be added onto the answer. So add 34 to 9146

b) 14,526

The change is from 17 to 27. So just take the difference of 10 and multiply by 538. This is 5380. Add this to the original answer

c) 269

Re-arrange the formula. 9146/17 = 538. So 9146/34 is half of the prior answer

Answer below

The trick here is to start with what goes opposite 4 and in which box? This is because you need to get either 6,7 or 8. It can only be the number 2 given that 3 is next to 4 rather than opposite 4. So 4 pairs opposite with 2. Then continue from there

a) (2,6)

Read horizontal axis always first when reading coordinates. Then Vertical axis

b) See below

c) i) (8,2)

A quarter of the distance from C to A would be from (8,0) to (8,8). Therefore, the difference in spaces is 8 on the vertical axis from C to A. 1/4 of this is 2 so the revised co-ordinates would be (8,2).

c)ii) (5,7)

A is (8,8) and B is (2,6). The difference between the coordinates is (-6,-2). Therefore, you move half of this from the point A which means you move by (-3,-1) from point A. This would give revised co-ordinates of (5,7) for the Silver. You apply addition and subtraction techniques in Coordinates

If a 1-cm cube is cut from each corner, how many faces will the new shape have?

24

Cube initially starts with 6 faces.

If a 1cm cube is cut from each corner, this creates 3 additional faces on each corner. So an additional 18 faces

The key here is imagine. And this requires imagination as to how the shape will change

a) 15 laps

Convert the 6km to m which gives 6000m. 400 into 6000

Remove like for like zeros to make it easier to work through. So it becomes 4 into 60. This gives 15 laps

b) 13.8km

Always step by step on what you know:

  • Marathon 13.4km
  • Running Track 3 laps @ 400m = 1.2km
  • Total of the above is 14.6km
  • This leaves 42.2-14.6 as the town run. Which is 27.6km
  • Half of this town run (as its 2 laps) would give 13.8km per town run lap

This is a slightly tricky question and probably the best way to do it, is to think about which digits upside down, give the same number. So a 180 degree turn

These digits are 0,1,2,5 and 8. The others do not. So then consider the times when these digits are in a 24 hour clock whereby the time would read the same upside down. The obvious one is 00:00 and to continue from there.

The others are 01:10 ; 02:20; 05:50; 11:11; 12:21; 15:51; 21:12; 22:22; 10:01; 20:02
