Supitsme:

Can we put Ruby told her brother that he was not to tell her where he had hidden the present

I'm afraid this is an incomplete transformation.

The direct speech shows \"my\".

So you need to transform \"my\" to \"her\", i.e. Ruby's present.

We use 2B pencils for shading of OAS

Thanks. But my friend's ds uses 3B for everything & for all subjects. So not sure whether pencils are allowed or not. And we can't seem to find any info from moe/SEAB.

For 6Q: (a), the answer posted here is 84 (potted plants question). Some of my friends got 45 potted plant (30 big plats & 15 small plants). This also gives a difference of $175. Hope someone can clarify. 84 potted plats will also give a difference of $175. :?

I think it is because the question stated the girl had bought the same number of big and small ones so must be 42 big + 42 small.

Choir qn
30% of Choir members and 40% of the Band members are girls.There are an equal number of boys in Choir and Band and the number of girls in Choir is 20 more than the girls in Band.How many Choir members are there?

Table qn
Someone bought 1 table and 4 chairs with a total amount of $945.The cost of a chair is 2/7 of the table.How much is the table?

How to solve choir / band qn ?
Algebra method ?

Using equivalent fractions.

70/100 Choir = 60/100 Band
7/10 Choir = 3/5 Band
21/30 Choir = 21/35 Band

Choir: Band
30:35

Choir girls: 9u
Band girls: 14u
Difference: 14u - 9u = 5u
5u -> 20
1u -> 20÷5=4
30u-> 30 x 4 = 120

Thanks. This explains why we got 84 and some had 45.
