Q&A - PSLE Math

Hi Tianzhu


Would you interpret the following statements as similar;

20% X $100 =$20

20/100 X $100 =$20

Especially the first statement, do you think it is acceptable?

Thank you.

Hi Yu Xuan


I looked through the PSLE Maths Guide (MC)

20% x $100 = 20/100 X $100

So, your two number statements should have similar meaning.

Hi


Q1 is a common question found in primary maths, you may use Common Multiples Method or Gap and Differences Method to solve it.

Q2 is a similar type of question but given a slight tweak. It is quite an interesting one.

Q1) Xie ming ming had some oranges and some boxes. When she put 12 oranges in each box, she had 35 oranges left over. When she put 15 oranges in each box, she was short of 55 oranges.
a) How many oranges did Xie ming ming have?
b) How many boxes did she have?


Q2) Xie ming ming distributed a packet of sweets among a group of pupils.
If she gave out 11 sweets to each pupil, the last pupil received only 6 sweets. If she gave out 8 sweets to each pupil, there would be 34 sweets left over.
A. How many pupils were there?
B. How many sweets were there?

This question is from the school Maths Workbook and only 4 students got the answer right. The rest mainly got the other answer. Here is the question;


Q11) Adam and Rahmad shared some beads. If Adam gave 1/3 of his share to Rahmad, Rahmad would have 70 more than Adam. If Adam gave 1/5 of his share to Rahmad, Rahmad would have 10 more than Adam. How many beads does Adam have at first?

Thank you.
