Question Answer

5 63.72 m = 63.72 ÷ 1000 = 0.06372 km

63.72 m = 63.72 × 100 = 6372 cm

63.72 m = 63.72 × 1000 = 63720 mm

Answer D

6 The rule is to subtract 9 then multiply by 2 and then add 5.

9 – 9 = 0
0 × 2 = 0
0 + 5 = 5
p = 0, q = 0, r = 5
Answer A

7 Number of cubes = 20 on each of the bottom four rows = 80 + 10 on the second top row
+ 5 on the top row = 95. Each cube has a volume of 1 cm3.
So volume = 95 cm3
Answer C

8 The median is the middle number when the numbers are arranged in ascending
order.

2.1, 3.7, 4.3, 4.3, 4.3, 4.5, 5.1,5.3, 5.3, 6.1. There are 2 middle numbers, 4.3, and
4.5. The average of these numbers is (4.3 + 4.5) ÷ 2 = 4.4

Answer B

9 25% is ¼.
¼ of 38,400 = 38,400 ÷ 4 = 9,600
Amount still to pay = 38,400 – 9600 = $28,800
Answer D

10 13:00 is 1:00 pm, so Jane catches train X. This train takes 42 minutes to get to Southern
Cross station, so not A. Joe has to use train Y. It leaves at 15:37 and arrives at
Footscray at 16:21. From 15:37 till 16:00 is 23 minutes plus a further 21 minutes till
16:21. Joe’s trip takes 23 + 21 minutes = 44 minutes. So not B.
Joe’s trip takes 2 minutes longer than Jane’s, so not C. This means that Jane’s trip takes
2 minutes less than Joe’s.

Question Answer

11 Each mark represents 1000ml ÷ 5 = 200 ml

Number of millilitres of water in jug = 800
1 ml of water has a mass of 1 g
800 ml of water has a mass of 800 g
Answer C

12 Angles in a straight line add to 1800.

The missing angle in the straight line = 180 – (25 + 82) = 730
Angle a is vertically opposite this angle and so a = 730
Answer C

13 10 is not a square number.

1 is not a composite number.
The triangular numbers are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36
Only 36 is a triangular number, a square number and a composite number.
Answer A

14 131, 131, 132, 135, 137, 139, 141, 143, 144, 147, 147, 148, 148 are more than
130 drinks sold. This means a total of 13 days.

Answer C

15 20 × 20 = 400 so the side of the square is 20 cm. Perimeter = 4 × 20 = 80 cm.

Question Answer

17 There are 4 right angles in a circle. 450 is half of 900.

Hence, there are 8 × 450 in a circle. 450 represents 20 students, so 8 × 20 = 160

Answer D

18 0.32 = 0.3 × 0.3 = 0.09

0.3 ÷ 0.01 = 30
0.03 is the smallest
Answer B

19 20 + 50 + 90 + 40 + 10 = 210

Answer B

20 3
0.3 is . The number of jelly beans drawn must be a whole number. This
10
means it must be divisible by 10. The only one of the given numbers divisible by
10 is 20

Answer A

21

A C 56 B

km

8 × distance from A to C = 56 + distance from A to C.

We are looking for a number which when multiplied by 8 = 56 + that number
8 × 7 = 56, but 56 + 7 does not equal 56
8 × 8 = 64, and 56 + 8 = 64
Distance from A to C = 8 km.
Answer 8 km

Answer C

24 There are 3600 in a circle. 360 – 80 = 280

5 equal angles = 280
1 angle = 280 ÷ 5 = 56
x = 560
Answer B

25 Side of square = 10 m. Each rectangle has a length of 10 ÷ 2 = 5 and a width of

10 ÷ 5 = 2. Perimeter = 5 + 2 + 5 + 2 = 14 m

Answer 14 m

26 25% = 25 ÷ 100 = ¼
12.5% 12.5 ÷ 100 = ⅛
¼ = 2 parts out of 8 and ⅛ = 1 part out of 8
This leaves 5 parts out of 8 for yellow.

Question Answer

27 ¼ spent on clothes means ¾ is left.

⅔ × ¾ = ½
¼ spent + ½ given to me means ¾ used. This leaves ¼ in purse.
¼ = $109
4 lots of ¼ = 4 × 109 = $436

Answer $436

28 Number of white squares = total number of squares – number of black squares.
For the first one = 32 − 12
For the second one = 42 − 22
For the third one = 52 − 32
For the eighth one = 102 − 82 = 10 × 10 – 8 × 8

Answer D

29 Tide $3.20 for ½ kg = $6.40 / kg
Sunrise $32.40 for 5 kg = 32.40 ÷ 5 = $6.48/kg
Yoyo $20.70 for 3 kg = 20.70 ÷ 3 = $6.90/kg
Rado $25.20 for 4.5 kg = 25.20 ÷ 4.5 = $5.60/kg
Cheapest to most expensive: Rado, Tide, Sunrise, Yoyo

Triangle ABC is isosceles so ∠BCA = 400

Triangle ABD is isosceles so ∠ABD = 400
∠ADB = 180 − 80 = 100 (angles in triangle)
∠BDC = 80 (angles in straight line)
a = 180 − (80 + 40) = 600 (angles in a triangle)
