12 D Be well versed with parts of a circle.
13 A Multiplication of 3-digit by 2-digit whole numbers.
14 A Knowledge of difference and relationship between volume and capacity
15 B 'take away' means subtract, minus, difference between, count back, etc.
16 B The ability to count-on on the calendar is important.
17 B Alignment of decimals is important.
18 C Quicker methods of multiplying by 100 can be used.
19 B Apply the law of precedence. Division first, addition and subtraction. Use common
denominator.
20 D Time should first be expressed in hours and substituted into the formula for speed.

24 D Total instalments plus deposit.
25 A An angle less than 90"is acute. An angle gre~ t ·'less thin180" js
obtuse. An angle greater than 180'but less than 360" is reflex.

26 B Use the formula for finding interest.
27 D A chord is a straight line from one part of the circumference to another part of the
circumference and may or may not pass through the centre. A diameter is a special
chord which passes through the centre of the circle. A radius is a straight line from
the centre to the circumference of the circle.
28 C A quadrilateral is a 4-sided shape.
29 C Replace 'of by multiplication sign.

means 2 parts, 3 parts and 4 parts. 'Respectively' means the order of names is also
the order of their ratios. Express John's ratio over total ratio, then multiply by
$648.
43 A Use the method for calculating volume of a cuboid.
44 C Interpretation of distance table is quite important.
45 A First change to improper fraction, invert the second fraction and multiply. Dividing
by¼ is the same as multiplying by 4.
