For the Alice and Huda question,

I put 11.25 km/h as answer. Am I wrong and did they mention we have to answer in m/min?

The 525 question is 3m but depends on whether you get method mark...

I think the answer is 585

What is the question for 11b?

[Kelvinho]

]Su ying baked some pies.She gave 1/5 of them to her relatives .Then she gave 30 of them to her neighbours .She then had 2/3 of the pies left.She then packed the rest of the pies into 18 boxes.Each box has either 6 or 12 pies.

(a)How many pies did she pack into the 18 boxes?
(b)How many boxes had 6 pies ?

My DD put for (a) 150 and (b) 11.Is she right?[/quote]

Based on information you provided, the answers did work out to be 150 and 11. :boogie:[/quote]

Thank you for the prompt reply:) hope the info given by her is correct ;([/quote]

I am sure someone will reaffirm this in no time. :xedfingers:

Based on info provided, the answers are correct.

1/5 = 3/15

2/3 = 10/15

15 - 3 - 10 = 2 u --> 30

1 u --> 30/2 = 15

10 u --> 15 x 10 = 150 (ans a)

18 x 12 = 216

216 - 150 = 66

12 - 6 = 6

66/6 = 11 (ans b)

Yes, the answer is 585. The bulbs are placed on the one length and two breadths of the rectangle, five in each breadth. But, note that the bulbs at the corner of the rectangle is also part of the length. So actually there's 5 bulbs on each breadth, but there are 10 bulbs on the length. Since there are nine 'gaps' between the 10 bulbs the answer is 9x65=585 and not 525 or 325 as others have mentioned.

P.S.: my drawing is crude so please don't complain about how terrible it is

mine said paper 1 easy paper 2 hard.

[champion31]

My DD came home very upset n worried. She says the math paper is very tough. The feedback I get is the same from some. Seems this year is a tough one.

Depends mostly on the individual. Many think it’s easy but in the end, all careless I think it’s better that they find it tough but exercise more care in checking the questions that they are confident of.
